Will do! I'm only 85 miles into this tank (out of my usual 600+ miles). Two factors against an immediate improvement: (1) the newer tires have much more tread and (2) I had to take off my wheel skirts to change the wheels. I also need a good formula for calculating the effect of smaller wheels on the ODO's miles driven for my FE calculations.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
