Also, Yahoo has the same info:

Here is the breakdown:

Gear ratio in 1st gear / 2nd gear 3.667 / 2.211
Gear ratio in 3rd gear / 4th gear 1.520 / 1.133
Gear ratio in 5th gear 0.919 / 0.778
Reverse gear / final drive ratio 3.333 / 4.111

No doubt for performance reasons. Kills the fuel mileage though.
