I'm currently running 15" alloy rims on my 97 Civic EX with 195/55/15 tires. I'm currently averaging 38-40MPG (mostly all freeway). Would it be worth getting 14" rims for mpg gains? Secondly, I've got the stock 14" steelies, however, I'm not opposed to getting alloy rims if it will make a significant difference.

Thanks for any input.
