I have swapped my diff for 3.73 auto with out LSD - its derivable and improved my city fuel econ. Hwy Fuel is okay too if I keep it at 120km/h.
That said I do think 3.64 is the better ratio for balance of hwy and street.

My motivation for 3.73 was ease of finding a good deal, and easy fit because (I may be wrong, but) the 3.64 is only possible with custom LSD equipped pumpkins OR with a drive shaft mod to mate up to a junker 3.64
