I have a G56 with 315 coopers at I get alot better mpg than the stock 265's. I went from 15-18 mpg on the open road to 20-22 mpg. I try to keep the speeds below 65mph.
I have to scratch my head, every one that I know that has the G56 has gotten better mpg with the larger tires despite the increase rolling mass.
I will say that my intown mpg is still the same.
I believe that it comes down to habits more than anything else.

I ran BFG 315s for about 50,000 miles and BFG 285s for about the same. Now I'm running the Toyo 285/75s. They get better mileage than the 315s and are way heavier duty.
