Just adding more information - I switched my manual trans from Mercon to Royal Purple "Synchromax" Manual transmission fluid last July... It made no difference in fuel economy. Your rear axle probably
already has 75W-140 synthetic gear lube in it, as mine does, so that's a non-issue. The 0W-30 motor oil made a significant difference. Hopefully, tomorrow's fill-up won't take TOO big a hit from the new tires...

Cool. So you can switch tire sizes without additional expense to re-calibrate the speedometer. And it's nice to get more power without sacrificing fuel economy.
