Yeah you use more fuel the engine revs higher. lok at either 3.45's or 3.7's both are a pretty good compromise behind the Auto box. wakes it up a bit round town and doesn't do almost 3000rpm @110km'h.
3.45's were factory in xr's and option(?) in ef fairy's and standard in el fairy's came with LSD's too. can be had for a vouple of hundred second hand off this site and plenty of others. 3.45's will have you about 2200rpm @ 110km/h. I know I will be corrected where I am wrong. 3.45's are a good all rounder without being silly about it. But without changing your gearbox ratio's you will always have that monumentally long 1st gear in the slush box.
