The Firestone FR380's are not a great tire. That was my previous set. I don't know about mpg, as that was before I was tracking the numbers. They wore down pretty quickly - I can't remember, but 40k miles or so. They also had poor traction, especially on wet roads. I'm not talking about hydroplaning, just a wet road surface. Very easy to spin the tires on a start, or to skid sideways on a turn.
My new Michelin Destiny's are in another class altogether. Too bad they don't come in your desired size. (175/70/13 is what I have)
