    I've read where people have lost 4-6 MPG when they put Scion TC wheels on their cars, mainly caused by the weight increase. Is there any decrease in MPG when changing from stock 15" wheels to Prius V wheels? Thanks

    Yes, it's been posted and noticed by many, myself included, that the 17" rims on the Prius V decrease mileage by 3 to 4 mpg.
