If I were you. I would go with what you wanted and don't let gas mileage be your deciding factor. The difference between 3.73's and 3.90's in gas mileage is VERY slim. Its not worth getting a gear ratio that you arent completely satisified with.

Thats what I did also, ended up going with 3.90's. If I were to do it over again I would go 4.10's + without a doubt.

3:73 sounds right for me.
