About the same. A bit better on the hi-wy with the 315's, 22-23. 24-25 if below 65 mph (rare).

I drive like a "grandpa" according to the kids but I get an honest 650-700 miles from a tank (30-35 gal) of fuel. You go figure.

10.5-11 towing 24' with 3400lb car and equipment @70 mph and 17 city 21 highway can get more but have to run slower highway speeds.

same here stock 3/4 ton with no mods and at 65 with the cruise own I can get anywhere from 22 to 24.7 miles per gallon according to the electronic meter in the truck. I have changed my tires but I went with Dayton tires that were the same height and width as stock.
