It is all relative. The change from 3.73s to 3.55 is very similar to 33.5s to 35s. Neglecting the change in tire weight and rotating mass, the taller tire will net less mileage in town but could lower RPMs and possibly raise the MPG on the highway. Like I said, the change in gears is not too much, if highway mileage is sought it is really cheaper to buy a set of brand new 35s and rock the good looks and get the same higwhay mileage.
