I think of myself as a safe driver so I try to keep an eye around what is going on and driving slower helps me. I keep it between 45 and 55 depending on where I am. I have a commute where I am on a two lane road so holding up traffic is a bigger concern because people can't pass so i stick to the high end but for the spots that are posted 55 I keep it 45 to 50.

As for the tires the ones I had did do good and I only had two tanks where I was keeping track so my guess is they might have done better on mpg. That being said I didn't feel safe so I needed new ones and these seem to have helped but then again it could be the warm weather and the car not needing to defrost and defogger the windows.

I think I am going to work on grill blocks soon as we'll as removing some small areas of dead weight.
