Well it sucked to begin with and it still sucks. Realy I don't know I have the same tires you're thinkin of getting, but I never keep track of gas mileage because no matter what it is gonna suck. However that being said bigger tires once they get rolling on the hiway shouldn't give you that much worse mileage, it is the starting and around town type of stuff, that unless you go a lot bigger than stock.

Most of the 04-05 F-150 4x4's came with 32 inch tall tires. If your's did you shouldn't notice much difference.
