If the computer was not reprogrammed for the smaller tire size, it would appear that he is getting a lower MPG due to the hire revolutions per mile. When in reality his odometer is simply off.

Agreed. Rolling resistance plays a big factor in MPG and his would be much lower than that of a truck with larger looking tires.

Actually, it would appear that he was going farther than he actually was going, the mpg reading would be higher with smaller tires since each revolution would be less distance than the truck thinks it is.
