2013 Silverado 250 hd, gas mileage with 3.73 & 4.10 gears

I am looking to buy a Silverado 250 hd and would like to get an idea of the gas mileage when towing, thinking 4.10 gears would allow me to tow in 5th gear where 3.73 would put me in 4th gear more often.

    Somewhere around 8 towing. Could be less if your fiver of choice us up near the limits. Personally if your going fiver route get a one ton. More capacity less worries.
