Running the old tires on the back of the car would be an option, but we plan to sell off the 17" rims to someone looking to "upgrade" their ride. Anyone here looking for some 17's? 
I agree, it could be a large number of factors that impacted the large change in FE. I am just glad it is up, way up . |
The image you have is of a Gen Prius with non OEM rims. Just stating obvious
If you want custom rims and 17 that is fine too but that to me is custom . The FE/mpg is not a concern with different oem rim size.IMHO
I am looking to increase my 15 oem rims FE/mpg
