You will get better mileage with a taller narrower tire, which means the car is doing LESS work, not more.
Yes?
My $.02
BTW- Nice Chart/program app!

also it would be much harder to guesstimate mileage considering the odometer would be off a certain percentage.
basically taller tires has a similar effect as a taller differential. very similar in effect. slower overall acceleration, higher top speed, and the like.
