Default 4.88s on sahara JKU

looking at a set of motive gear 4.88s for my sahara. love to grab some power back from installing 35s duratracs. from my research it seems to be a good medium gear with 35s but 4.56s looks good too. whats the highway rpms and did anyone gain or suffer mpg?? i drive roughly 60-70 miles a day , so yes mileage kinda matters to me. but about 30 miles are highway so i would like to pick up some pep in that department.
2011 JKU , 4 spd auto with stock 3.73s. seems i lost power and mpgs with my dynomax off road exhaust too on the highway.
thanks jk

JK sahara with 4.88 and 35s... I feel it is really balanced, its good on road for mpg and off road for torque

I was thinking going to 5.13 and 4.88 was enough, i could have gone to 4.56 but it is a rare gear to get in Mexico so I kept to the most common thinking in future replacements :p
