I agree I doubt you will see much difference going from a 265 to a 285. The big difference in mileage people talk about is when you step up to a 305 or even a 315, then you will most likely drop a couple mpg.

I know several people who have bought overdrive gear splitters in an effort to increase mphs, it doesn't work.
Aerodynamic drag that increases with speed seems to be the biggest factor.
