I get better mileage out of my 2276cc on 48 IDF's than I did out of my 1776cc on 44 IDF's

At the same cruising speed the engine is doing less work so using less fuel.

This is only on a long run, in traffic or round town it's not so great but I have size 11's and like using them!

On a long run the 2276cc gets about 23MPG so about the same as a stock lump 8)

Same here. I was amazed to find the mpg had gone from 25 to 28. I think the longer gears helped too.
 
snap 28-32 (right foot dependant) on a run fully loaded with crap on the roof rack and bikes on the back. 2027cc
