Have you checked to see how much changing to a smaller tire is impacting your miles recorded vs. miles traveled? A smaller tire has to turn more times to travel a mile on the ground, but your odometer doesn't know the difference. You might want to compare to a GPS or use the old one mile at 60mph should take 60 seconds to see that your mpg didn't improve just because you're recording more miles than you're actually traveling.
