This also included a wheel swap to wheels that were slightly lighter, but shouldn't have made that much difference in coasting like that (especially since the new wheels are much less aerodynamic).
According to some of my notes at the time of the swap, I gained 2-3MPG going to the LRR. I can only assume that's city, simply because the majority of my driving is city. |
Impressive. What time of the year was it when you switched tires?
