35 inch tires 16.2 mpg. what is the real mpg?

i know the 35 inch tires are throwing the speedo off. I drove around town alot today and the truck averaged 16.2 in town. I have 325/65/18 tires, which are 35 inch tires , How much mileage am i getting. Sorry about 2 questions back to back, but i am caught up with this truck tonight

Depends on the gear ratio and original tire size the speedo was calibrated for.
