Probably about five or so, you will definetely notice it. The ulitimate fix would be new gears but those can be quite pricey. I threw 33's on my Jeep and my MPG's dropped right down. Some things that will help you get some MPG's back, if you dont already have these, are an air intake, TB spacer, and a performance cat and muffler (amongst other things). Help that heep breathe better. All of these combined will help you get some of those mpg's back. Another very important thing is to make sure you have a feather foot. dont romp on the gas and dont put it to the floor when going up hills, that will eat your gas right up. easy does it. HTH!
