I'd be content with 30mpgs out of it. It's always come in around the 24 mark. Bigger, heavier wheels and tires probably don't help. She had other issues that I resolved already that would have been dragging down the fuel mileage. Hopefully they all add up...
Yea that's the size, 205/50R15. I'm running DZ102'S. When I bought the car everyone told me to get them, so I did. Even at 42psi I'm amazed how well they grab the pavement. I dodged a possum the other night at 60mph that I probably would have lost control had I been in the insight.
