Default Rubi tires

Well this is for all of you guys that have changed there stock sra to rubi wheels or aftermarket mt. How much of a gas miliage loss did you get? With the high prices of gas up here in Canada, I'm looking at getting another set of rims with a all season tire on it for my daily driving use, and keeping my rubi tires for fun. But I'm trying to see if it will be worth it.
My ride is a 09 rubi with a 2.5 tf lift (running stock wheels/tires and spacers). and a heavy front bumper with a winch.
Right now my milage is close to 14,15l/100km if i drive normal, and if I drive like an old lady it get 12,13l/100km mostly city driving. I'm lucky to be getting 450 km out of a tank of gas, but usually closer to 400 km. (that is from the computer and hand calculated)
I know I quite checking and just enjoy driving it, and don't plan on selling it but I'm trying to get every last bit out of the tanks now. So what milage are you guys getting or lost with tire changes?
Thanks

I just switched from SRAs to BFGs and there was no milage difference. For reference... 2009, wrangler x sport, no lift, superchips set to 87 octane.
