    You will appreciate your bigger wheels even more after you switch back after a week though. ;)

    ah. You were asking about average mph. That graph shows all of my fill ups with low, avg temps, cal vs cons, and avg speed. I need many more fill ups to get a good data plot.

    Interesting that both MPG plots are a mirror image of the Average Speed plot (except for fillup #1 & #2).

    Good work.

    I have no doubt u would be able to get 53+ mpg w/ stock wheels:). Maybe I should be the guinea pig & go back to the 15's for a couple of tanks. I'm just afraid I may never want to switch back like F8L after seeing how more effecient I can be. Naaww, I'm way too vain to keep the 15's on for more than 2 tanks worth:D.
