19.5 and mpg?

[turboost]

Those whose run 19. 5s, how has your mpg be affected with the extra weight of the tire/wheel? Also, what size tire are you running?

245/70-19. 5. Mileage dropped about 1. 5 mpg according to the computer, but the change in tire size throws it off, so I don't know actual drop. Probably much less than 1. 5.

The new engine seems to like more rpm than the old 12 valves; mine likes 2000-2300 rpm while my 12 valve liked 1800-2000. If you increase tire diameter, you would be better off with 4. 10 gears than 3. 73s.
