22'' Gas Milage?

Alright everyone. I couldn't afford the 300 with bigger engines so I had to settle with the 2.7L which kind of sucks, but hey at least its a 300. Plus the gas milage is suppose to be better?
I am looking at rims now and needed to see if someone could help me out with a few questions.
1. With my little 2.7L will 22'' rims destroy any gas milage benifits?
2. Has anyone had the 2.7L and put 22'' on them? If so, it'd be cool to here all about it.

I'm thinking if 22'' suck the gas out of the 2.7L to much vs. 20'', I'll have to settle for the 20'' even though 300 look hella sick with 22''

Any help would be awesome, and as always pics are awesome! I'm thinking Black on Black....

I've got a 2.7 with 22's, had them on for a couple weeks now and have not seen a difference in gas milage.

I went from aluminum black center 22's to black chrome and I have to tell ya that it swallows my gas alot more faster than with the aluminum wheels...

I have had rims on the 300 over a year now.
