Average MPG drop :(

Am well disappointed. Before doing the following, I've been getting 63MPGus average. But now after fitting new tires on the front of my car & inflating all tires to 50PSI, put back in my seats and installing cruise control, now my FE has suffered - the average has fallen down to 60MPGus. Does new tyres and the extra weight from the seats really do make that much difference? I miss the 70MPGus I got a while ago...

Or could it be all the rubbish weather we're getting in the UK lately...?
