These are highway numbers. Your city number will probably be even higher than before

my city stayed the same thanks to stall converter and hwy seen as much as 24mpg so 4.10>3.42>3.23 with those heavy *** 22" rims your going to see better gas mileage and better response, night and day, do it and you will kick your self in the *** for not ordering the truck with them allready.

You will notice a significant seat-of-the-pants gain going to 4.10's from 3.23's....I noticed a significant gain going from 3.73's to 4.10's in my Avalanche, so you will be a happy camper.
But if you cruise on the highway a lot at 75+ mph, be prepared for a loss of mpg. The LS1-derived motors like 1800-2000 RPM and once you start getting into 2200+ RPM, motor efficiency starts to plummet. I lost 3-4 mpg in my Avalanche going to 4.10's.
