Ran for 2 weeks

FP @ 40 PSI = 18.2 MPG 222 Miles / 12.2 Gallons

prostars should help alone... due to the reduced rotating mass.

275/60/15 nittos

its not the rpms that eat the gas mileage its the amount of fuel consumed.... alot of peopel dont realize depending on yoru setup at a higher pm your car might need less throttle to provide the givin hp required to maintain the speed of 70

100 rpms isnt going to make a difference
