I had a right front wheel bearing problem with my Celica, that caused the car to pull right, and the alignment to be out enough to see odd tire wear (prematurely wearing of the inside edge)... after I fixed it, FE got better by about 2-3 mpg.

My thinking is this: If there's worse than normal tire wear, you are scrubbing the tire(s) and therefore wasting energy.
