larger tires on the highway give you better gas mileage...engine is revving lower. it will give worse mileage in town with all the stops and starts.


Then what the hell am I doing wrong. I drive 70km one way to work and most of that is all highway. I was getting 700km on about 83 liters of fuel but have dropped to about 560 km on 90 liters. Bigger tires (285/75 r16 vs 256/70 R15) and have had the wheel alignment done. Seems to be sucking way less in town and I now drive about 95km/hr on the speedo vs 105 with the smaller tires??? I put the bigger ones on for better economy which was going against everything I was ever tought or believed in <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
