I put on Nitto Terra Grapplers 285-60-18 and my mileage went to ~14/15MPG.
However, as someone mentioned, due to the increase in tire size the mileage shows less than actual. I also have a Calmini cone filter. Roof rack may cost some also.

From Unimog to VX - a serious change in velocity - a small sacrifice in voracity.

Lots of interesting info coming out here, would tire pressure also affect the diameter, ie if pressure was low would it have the effect of a smaller tire. It wouldn't would it? it should still have the same circumference right? Its too late in the day for me to get my head around that one!
I think i'll hook up my gps and see how accurate my speedo and milage indicator are. It would have been useful to have done that before the mods though as a comparison.
