What effect on Maverick HYBRID MPG's does wheel weight increase have?

[IHateSpeedbumps]

I went for a light weight tire and wheel combo which eneded up a couple pounds lighter that the stock 18" BAP set up on my '24 Lariat Maverick. I moved those over to my '25 BAP Lariat Maverick which had a heavier set-up I think. But the tires were also AT tires so that caused a little more resistance so the net net was probably about the same in the end. I didn't notice a difference in mileage compared to reported numbers from other members with factory set ups. But I got a nicer wheel and better tire.

He said in his post same tires, different rims that weigh 10 lbs more. I don't think he will notice a change in mpg since it's so small.

Thanks Tim!
Many great posts in this thread! Thanks to all.
I have decided to limit my new (stock size) Aftermarket Bronze wheel choices to be as close to, or under The 30ish pound stock Mav XLT alloys.
I am not avoiding heavier wheels to save 0.75 mpg, I am intending to avoid unnecessarily higher loads on the front suspension and front drive components- As noted by Tom_Tucker in post #3 of this thread.
This discussion has expanded and brings me to two more questions that I might pose in new threads later. Thanks again Guys for the helpful input, Finnster
