plumcrazy,
I have 3:55's and 32 gallon tank. Which equates to 13.4 but I do a lot of sitting in traffic and this is the worst gas mileage I will get. On the highway it always in the 20's. I'v only had the truck for a month and have not barely been on the highway on a trip so I can only gage my highway mileage on the highways in the city.

6mpg better? I find that hard to believe. Maybe 1-2. The 20" tire/wheel combo on a big horn are almost 33" tall. So a person can gain 6mpg better by dropping tires by 5"?
