Have you tested the donuts RR in order to see if there's a significant difference between them and a small LRR tire? Besides, at best you could pick up a few mpg at 70-75mph if you cut the rolling resistance in half compared to whatever is on there now. If you cut the drag coefficient in half like basjoos did, you'll gain 20+mpg at 70-75mph, and there won't be any worries about undesirable operation.
