I'm running 285/75R16's on the Burb, and compared to the 245/75R16's it had when I got it, I gained about 3mpg (using a GPS since the speedo is off), however it's got 4.10 gears. Going to Anchorage and back with the cruise set at 67, it only kicked it up a gear once going up a hill, usually, when we encountered a hill, you'd hear the turbo spool up and it would maintain speed perfectly, on one occasion, it dropped to 64 mph and shifted gears to get back up to speed. It got to 68, hit OD on the hill and was able to maintain the rest of the climb.
It's not a Cummins, but it's getting the job done.
