Default Power and gas mileage????

JUST THREW ON SOME 33X12.50'S AND HAVE NOTICED THAT I HAVE LOST ABOUT 4MPG WHICH I KNEW WAS COMING BUT ON HIGHWAYS 4TH GEAR (AUTO) ONLY GOES TO ABOUT 65 THEN DROPS TO 3RD! I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE HER A LITTLE MORE OOMPH WITHOUT LOSING TOO UCH MORE MPG.
ANY IDEAS??

Samething for me when I put my 33" tires in Summer.
You can put more air in your tires, it will help.
Changing the gears can help also
