I'm really getting into this as now as I've done a fair few mods and modified my driving technique and it's all starting to add up to spare change in my pocket!!

Anyway-
What about extended climbing in mountainous terrain? I routinely have to climb at least 3000feet (cumulative) on my commute (it's a delivery run really). Sometimes 6000 or more...

Would alloy wheels offer some kind of improved fuel efficiency in that situation?
