Then, thanks to this thread and the thread listing the consumer reports results on low rolling resistance tires, I got the Michelin X-Radial DTs from Costco in 215/75/15 and just got 32 mpg with about 2/3 highway and 1/3 city!

So thanks everyone for all the help, and for anyone considering these X radial they are really delivering.
