Default Transmission Gear Ratios

I know I've seen this somewhere, but when I need it, I can't find it.
What are the standard (passenger car) gear ratios in the transmission?
Obviously 3rd gear is 1.00, just don't know what the other 2 are.

My notes say 1st is 3.12 and 2nd is 1.85, but I'm sure someone else will correct me.

I am looking for the same information. Is Jim's answer correct. I can't seem to find it in any spec manual. I don't mean to doubt Jim but he didn't sound sure. Thanks.
