Tire choice cost me 7MPG on my VX. I got a set of Michelins for $226 total from Sam's club. Bottom line is cheapest is usually never best, if it cost you hundreds more in fuel.
Sorry for clogging up your thread with relevant information.

I'm really hoping that Orang4boy chimes back in on that thread
I'm thinking about following some of his tips/tricks this summer
7mpg, that's a huge loss
I have seen tires make a difference, but never that much
