yep,that sized tires will work in favor of fuel economy.

im running 18 inch rims, 265 width.

Very neat well done

My LS1 SS 6 speed ute (3.7 diff gears) does combined 11.5 L/100km. My 4.0L auto D2 does 17.5.

Massive difference though...weight, wind resistance, 4wd v 2...I mean really the little 4l in a disco is a far better proposition than the petrol offerings from Toyota 100 and GU Patrol of same Era.
