Your driving style, engine size, gears, and condition of your truck all come into play. It's hard to tell with so many different trucks out there...

Going from stockers... 1-3 MPG isn't anything unexpected.

One thing you will also have to figure when calculating MPG after tire swap is that your speedometer and odometer will be off. Factory tires are 30" and you have installed 33". That is 10%. Your speedo will be 10% off and that would also mean your odo will be 10% off. If you get 15mpg on stockers and record 13.5mpg on 33" you should actually still be at 15mpg. If you are at 13mpg it means you actually lost .5mpg. This all goes out the window if you have a programmer and recalibrate your speedo.

Yep, it's possible. I lost about 1-2 MPG when I went from my 32 stockers to my 35 BFG muds

What is that makes the tires on your sig stand out so much? Could it be that the dirt allows the viewer to see the detail from a distance?
