First mpg report after going to 32in tires
Well last night I filled up the first tank after I upgraded to my 32's. Most of this tank was city driving and usually 3mile trip at a time and usually running cold. Would barely warm up by the time I got to work. I also took a 40 mile trip on the hwy. Which was the only time I was on it. The rest was all city. Here is what I got.
284 miles
15.16 gallons filled up
18.7 mpg avg
That's with 93 octane tq program installed
When I was running my 246/75/16 I was avg 18.1mpg. So as you can see it went up some with the 32's and I do believe it is because my truck is running in a better rpm range for the city now. I drove it exactly the same for the last few months which is about 5 fill ups.
So for anyone wondering if they should upgrade to bigger tires I WOULD! As long as you have a programmer installed you mpg will be good.

call my bluff all you want. Stone has seen it. It is consistency of shifting that really helps. I shift at 3k from 1-2, 2-3 and 3-4 and anytime i am 40+mph i use 5th. my speedo is off 11% so last tank...279.2(trip meter mileage)X1.11(for gears and tires)=309.91(corrected mileage) 309.91/14.9=20.80
my dad gets 17-18 with his OHV4.0 5-Spd and 3.55's
