Any Suggestions? 2007 Mustang GT. 3.73 or 4.10 rear end gears?

I got a 07 Mustang GT I was thinking of buying some rear end gears but i don't know which one to buy. I know that a 4.10 well get u a little better on a start. But my question is is their any differents in the highway becuase I like to go to my home town evey often and I like to drive fast around 110mph. Would it be any differents?

Gas mileage will be a little different. THe lower the number the better mileage you will get. And the 4.10s on the highway are going to put your RPM kinda high. Especially over 100 mph. Go 3.73 if you do anything at all.

From everything that I have heard. The general rules to follow are

If auto go 4.10 all the way

If manual only go 4.10 if it is not driven all the time, otherwise 3.73.
for instance, I have an 05 GT that is a daily drive and I decided to go with 3.73's and couldn't be happier.

I say these general rules because I have known several people who have gotten 4.10's in their manuals but then switched them out for 3.73's
