The ratios are apart by 10%. As I said before, this can easily be over 5% difference in fuel consumption on the highway.
People are used to cars with excessively short cruising gears, so they don't realize just how much more mpg they can pick up. Like I said any small passenger car can cruise at 45-50mpg with the correct gear ratios, as opposed to 35mpg. This is a massive difference. Now of course they know people are too lazy to downshift so they will make the gears a bit shorter but even so, most cars are cruising at around 60-70% peak efficiency or less.

Read the link. GT with LSD is 12.8 L/km. G w/out LSD is 13L/km, on the JC08 circuit listed above. If you drive 100% highway maybe it will be 5% difference, but if you do that don't buy an 86.

edit. sorry, it is 12.4 vs 13, so 4.8% difference. At 30mpg highway that would be 1.2mpg. Big whoop
