Dropping the tire size will feel like you are gaining torque. But loosing tire diameter *might* affect your MPG. Only testing will answer that.

Me, I have had LRR tires increase and decrease MPG and I have yet to be able to define why. But I don't want to hijack your topic with that. So my advise is do a bit of testing and log everything to show your results.
