Unless you are doing a lot of highway driving going from a 4.10 ratio to 3.64 might not improve mileage. What will be very noticeable is your vehicle will accelerate slower.
Green Dragon had noted that his MPG actually increased.

This car has an M54. It will never accelerate fast.

I had a 4.8iS prior, and even that thing didn't scoot haha
