Taller, narrower tires also helps in getting better mileage without changing your rear-gears.
Taller tires also last a tiny bit longer on the road due to a larger diameter of tread rolling on the road. But the cost basically equals itself as the tires are a bit more expensive for the life of the tire gained.
[b]Always be concious of the Wind Drag that your vehicle creates as you travel down the road. Pushing tons of air also drags down your gas mileage too. Even a ladder rack can act like a constant wind brake on your vehicle.
So true.
The new Corvette gets 35 mpg and that is not an Econo Car.
Oh not all Corvettes get that mpg, only the least expensive one with the smallest engine gets 35mpg but that Car is still very very fast.
As I see it the reason is due to very very low Air Resistance. That Car is shaped like a Missile and even the under body has very very low Air Resistance.
I never liked the Corvette but since finding out about the MPG and after driving a friends I now like them, not as much as I like a Porsche or Ferrari, but any Car that looks as good and is as fun to drive and is as fast as the Corvette is and also gets 35 mpg I like.
