noob question on gears and mpg

Im sure its been posted many time before but I suck at search function.

What is the stock gearing on a 07 xl 2.3 2wd manual?

I just went from 225/70/15 to 30/9.5/15's and Im trying to figure some things out, such as what kind of drop in mpg's I should expect.

I realize I need gears in a 4 cyl to move the bigger tires, but if Im at 3.73 already, I think Ill be fine. Plus, going from 27.4 diameter to 30 tires, I need to compensate for the 1.0 to 1.1 difference in the odometer. 100 miles actually equals 110 miles right?

Anyone with same setup, let me hear your input.

Thanks

Alright, well I have the 3.73's. I just checked the code on the door sticker. Duh.

Anyways, I just filled up today, so Ill just go thru a tank and see what happens.
