Default gear differential

Bought my mustang last year .... goes well and pretty powerful . I found out that I have a 2.73 gear . I was amazed due to the gret acceleration I have .... I knew it was a low gear ...can reach 150 MPH on highway ... but I didnt know that it was that low ... I'm thinking about changing it to get a better acceleration .... what would you suggest ? I don't want 4.10 ....would be too expensive on gas .... I know if I change for a higher gear , it will appear on my gas consumption ... I just don't want exagerate .... At 62 mph (100 kmh) .... my rpm is 1200 . What could be my RPM at 62 MPH with 3.08 , 3.27 , 3.55 or 3.73 ??? It theres a way to know ?

thanks
