Welcome to the site!

I've never heard of taller gearing hurting city mileage. Care to explain Gealii?

I'd recommend taking a look at our wiki page:
Car MPG Efficiency Modifications Main - EcoModder

There are several here who have done regearing stuff. The gains seem to be from 7% to 20%. I'm sure its application specific, but those are pretty huge gains.
