My 4-runner has a 24 gallon tank, 12 gallons of gas may not seem like much, but anything helps.

Running sidewall max on the 4-runner has helped this thing glide like an ice skater, so best bet is get the wifey to practice techniques, I know the hassles, I'm trying to get the wife to do the same.

Good Luck
My understanding of running bigger than stock wheels/tires, is that it changes the speedo/odo, showing less or more miles than you've actually traveled, I don't think it changes the fuel consumption, you're just calculating fuel efficiency with a distorted benchmark.
