its a spare being used as a spare, i see nohtign wrong with that

heres an idea: for all of you who think a wider tire makes a significant mpg loss try this: get or borrow 4 spare tires or doughnuts as i liek to call em, drive around for a few tanks with them on as your wheels and tell me if theres any difference. (obviously dont go over 50 but why would you?)

ive had the stock rims and tires on my truck for half a year then i put my summer rims and tires on which are the exact same size just about 2-3" wider. ive seen no significant change in my mpg...so i dunno if it makes a huge difference or not and was wondering if someoen would be willing to go to the skinniest tire possible (thats why i say borrow or go to a junk yard and get 3 spares) and see if it changes your FE. id be kind of interested to see what the results are.
