RE: 4.7 Gas Mileage???
Food for thought on milage calculations:
If you are using your odometer for your milage calculations, it is run by the speedometer which is reading the revolutions of your wheels to calculate the miles driven. if you put taller tires on your truck, it will throw off your speedometer, but it will also register less miles driven on your odometer. this could be part of the dramatic drop you experienced when you changed tire sizes. If I'm not mistaken, a taller/wider tire will also increase the roll resistance which detracts from milage.
