Thanks, I looked around and got a good deal at Sears on Michelin Primacy MXV4 tires. Didn't alter the tire pressure from the Sears install and I already notice a gain of 2 to 4 mpg!
Possible next steps (might do a controlled test this time):
a) increase tire pressure
b) smooth wheel covers
c) partial front grille block
d) rear wiper blade delete
e) reduce air gaps around lights, hood, etc.
I will post a pic of the vehicle in my next post... I don't have enough posts yet to do it!
