If you reset your speedo and the tire is the same width - almost no change. I saw about a 1.5 mpg drop going to a 13.5x33.

I don't know. I swapped the oem 30 inch tires to 33's right after buying the truck and never corrected the speedometer/odometer untill I installed 35's. I get 13mpg with my 5.4, 3.55 gears and 35's,

I lost about 2mpg mainly in city driving, starting and stopping these heavy tires. On the highway they reduced my crusing rpm's about 200 so I can cruise at about 17 to 1800rpm's and get almost 18mpg. Almost like having a double overdrive! City driving I get about 12 to 13mpg.
