So far it doesnt seem like this higher ratio diff has any large effect on efficiency. My commute is a state highway with tons of stoplights. I cruise ~50mph but all the stop lights have me starting and stopping almost the whole way.
How has getting used to the adjusted shift points been? Do you feel on day-to-day cruising you need to be in 1 gear higher than you used to be?
