Actually as far as gear ratios go,
The lower the number the better the mileage, the higher the number the easier it will pull.
IE,
the 4.10 ratio it takes 4.10 turns of the drive shaft to = 1 full turn of the tire.
the 3.55 ratio takes 3.55 turns of the drive shaft to = 1 full turn of the tire.
the 4.10 is actually the "lower" gearing
all else being equal the vehicle with the lower numerical ratio (3.55) will get the better mileage because at the same tire speed(MPH) the engine will be running at a lower RPM
