Yeah, you shouldn't notice any MPG change from adding the BB itself and if you are sticking with stock-ish size tires, you shouldn't notice anything even then.

I put a BB on my DD XJ along w/ some 30x9.50 BFG AT's and I dropped about 1 mpg. It is not even hardly noticable. The rig has the factory 3.55 gears for what it is worth.

If you're keeping the same tire size then there probably won't be a change in economy, though in theory it should go down because you're changing the frontal area of the vehicle. Rolling resistance from the tires plays a bigger part.

It'll affect wind resistance. Anything over 35mph right?
