Gears for tow / haul

I dont see how its possible to get better fuel mileage with 308 gears if your hauling a load. Like I said my truck originally had 308 gears, then I swaped in one ton axles that have 4.10s and my mileage definately got better. But mostly when I use my truck im hauling something.
Maybe the people who got better mileage with the 308 gears who dont haul tend to cruise down the highway 80mph? See im mostly on gravel roads and im never really in a hurry to go anywhere these days.

Thats just it, about a new diesel truck. You would have to be hauling a trailer a lot of miles to ever justify the cost of one.
