Then that means if I used 22 gallons to go 300 miles on my odo and I actually went about 314 miles, then my mpg was actually 14.25 instead of 13.6. Hey - I'll take what I can get.
correct. and this is a mental mistake that about a million people make when they say... i put bigger tires on my truck and it killed my gas mileage. they forget to compensate for under-registering of speedo and odometer. your size change is fairly small. a change from stock 225/75/16 (29.28") to 285/75/16 (32.83) is about 12% difference on the speedo/odo. 53 vs 60 mph and a couple of mpg.

245/75R16 was factory with 265/75R16s as an option.
You must be talking about 4x's?
