Default Mpg with 33's on 3.55 gears?

My buddy has almost new 33 micky tompsons and he want to go 35 inch. I would eventually go to 4.56, but that wouldnt be for about 3 months. What would the Mpg be like?
Also i dont want to remove my flares, so how much would i need to trim my caps to run 33's on a 4.5 lift?

regularly get 13-14 on 32s. Have been as low as 12 and as high as 15 but usually like i said, so you'd probably be in the 10-12 range depending on how you drive it.
