Took my little sister to see the new pirates and cruised around 75 the whole way without downshifting to pull a hill. I see more loss at take off then at speed. Lost some mpg, but this the first tank I went through totally on these tires so well see what happens.

Put two tanks through her in the last two days, averaged out to 18, about 1mpg less than I was making last time on this drive.
