Great shot....since some call their tires 'shoe' for slang!!!
That is LONG drive. I did it from sacto several years ago.
I am glad for the positive results!! I'm sure we amateur scientests are missing the 'mass in motion creates better mpg"!!!!!! lol
My concern is alway for the long term wear since I keep my cars for a while and drive a lot of miles in a yr.
But your have DEFINITLY shown that at some point (5% maybe) a taller tire in motion on a trip (ie highway driving) WILL overcome the other factors (width, drag) and produce better mpg.
