My mileage numbers were based on the stock wheels - 165/80 13"s

I put the 15"s on there, drove it for a few days and pulled them right off. Larger wheels severely hurt a small car like mine. The car felt heavier, it coasted less and it was much more difficult to steer. I'll take thinner wheels (with safe weight distribution tolerances) any day.
