Welcome to the forum, It sounds like you have a good start. What PSI are the Gold Guzzler's tires set at? You may need to test and see which pressure gives the best economy, I recently found that 55 is overinflated for the van I drive.

(Edit, 2013-April-2: Different tire pressures for different trips, Perhaps.)

Edit, 2013-September-18: I'm not sure all of what I said above is true but changing the tire pressure at least to maximum sidewall has helped fuel economy and tread wear on cars.
