    As mentioned, tire size makes the most difference in MPG.
    I went from the stock 245/75-16 to 265/75-16 (which fit without lifting) and saw a 1-2 MPG decrease. Subsequently added 5100's at 1.75" lift with no change in mileage. Current set up still has the lift, but now using 235/85-16 and MPG's now back close to stock. (Calculations taking into account that my speedo is now slightly off)
