it doesn't change the amount of fuel consumed. BUT if the "gallon" contains more volume (160 oz versus 128 oz) then you'll go further on a "gallon" and you MPG will be higher if you use an Imperial gallon.

I am currently running 4.56 gears in my dodge and love them I have two sets of tires by off road tires witch are 33x12.5 15s and my towing tires are 265/75r 16s running the 16s my average driving I get about 11.5 mpg and towing I get 11.2 and by towing I mean loaded car trailer. If I run interstate or pure highway I can get 15 or 16mpg but then again what can I expect when at 60 mph I am turning around 2200 rpms and somewere around 70 I am close to 3000 rpms. Again I tow alot and the 3.55 I could barely take off when I hauled the tractor on the trailer now with the 4.56's I think I could pull over a house with out a problem hahaha
