Hopefully the numbers are realistic.. The 96lbs of rotational mass should be about the same as removing 288lbs of static weight(1:3) though ive heard as much as (1:8 which would be 768lbs) and as low as (1:2 which would be 192lbs).. est 3% improvement in mpg from tires and rims, less rolling resistance, plus a lower center of gravity, less frontal drag, less tire exposed to airflow, plus less drag underneath with some aero mods, and a spoiler for that 10 degree goal from cab to end of bed will hopefully equal a 7mpg mix gain..
