Not sure how much it will effect your actual MPG. It will affect the odometer reading, which will throw off the FE calculation. A smaller tire (diameter) will make it easier to accelerate, may even weigh a bit less, however, for the same actual speed the engine will be running faster. However, if you still drive the same indicated speed as you did before you would be actually driving a little slower, and that might improve your MPG. It's rather complicated due to the fact that the calculations are not correct based in the differences in tire sizes.
