You did get LRRs a few months ago when you needed tires, right?

I was looking at the ecopia tires, but ended up going with the best deal at Costco at the time. Free rotations, balance, etc. I felt that the price difference would be the most cost effective thing to do, albeit maybe not best for FE.
Interesting comments. I think what I've pulled out of this is that with my driving style (several miles of freeway at 60mph, 45mph commute the rest of 20 miles, try not to hang people up, etc) I'm nearing what I'm "willing" to do with a stock car. Time to start modding and seeing more increases. If I can get a consistent 50mpg+ commute I'll be happy.
