Is it true that if u got 13 inch rims that ur car will waste more gas and get more miles, and what the mph gauge says ur car is going slower than that

yes its true........
smaller tires have to have more rotations that bigger tires ti do the same things. means higher rpms, slower vehicle more gas used.

all depends on your tire size

Yeah your gas mileage will suffer, but your actual Odometer will not be affected by your tire size. Diffinately your speed will be different, my boy was doing 80 mph and I was like you doing 80 mph, then I was like oh yeah 13 X 7.
