i doubt you added more weight with extra tire than if you had just gone with bigger rims.
who thinks it's possible to do 260/55R18 without changing the suspension? or even 265/55R18 ?

that small of a change it would be hard to calculate the losses, but it is probably more of a complex situation then simply, less city mpg, more highway mpg.
The jeep guys run strut spacers you can buy made for the Grand Cherokee's, if someone made one for the X's in theory you could lift them. I would bet there is a small market for folks looking for that, so maybe some funky home brew stuff may happen by someone slick enough
