Of course, bike tires are maybe not fully comparable to cars, but I love the chart and I take your point. I have a 23mm Gatorskin on my back wheel right now, but that is the widest tire that fits in the frame (1990s Nashbar design).

The link Capriracer posted a page or so back had this chart buried in it. You'll notice that generally smaller tire size is associated with lower RR:

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
