I'm stoked for you, man. Totally doable. I'd scrutinize those tires. What brand and how old. Can you tolerate airing them up to within 10% of max? That would make a big difference on some tires. My brother picked up 3mpg highway ( in a small KIA SUV I think) airing up from somewhere where you are now. If they aren't LRR then use them up and plan for ones that work with you on your goal. Happy hunting!
