I'm guessing you will see improving mileage as the miles start to add up and everything loosens up. If you are in hilly country you might have been better to go with the 3.42 just to give you more get up and go to get you going up the hills. 3.08 i would think would have to work a little harder to get you up the same hill, meaning your foot is a little deeper in the throttle.
you are correct.
