The axle ratio is generally what folks are referring to when they talk about gear ratio. Your transmission has gear ratios too, but they depend on what tranny you have and what gear you're in.
There is also something called, "final drive ratio". That is is the ratio of engine rpm to wheel rpm. It factors in all the gear ratios in the drive train -- transmission, transfer case (if there is one), and differential.
