Honestly, there isn't much difference between a 3.55 and a 3.73.

Now if you were comparing a 2.93 and a 4.11, that would be a dramatic difference. [...]
Saltfish has summed it up nicely. Your talking about less than 5% difference in final drive ratio. But if you do a lot of highway driving the difference (at ~20mpg) is in theory about 1mpg better for the 3.73s. If your getting about 10mpg it's only 0.5mpg
