Yet another gas millage issue!
Ok yea i know allot of us would like a little more millage from our PT. But seems to me some of your are getting rather good millage taking your tires in to consideration. The 55 series and 50 series tires they look cool but they are allot heavier with there thicker side walls some weight almost as much as two regular tires.
 So with the weight increase at 23-24 mpg your doing good.

Re: Yet another gas millage issue!
It's not the weight as much as rolling resistance - the wider sidewall is good for handling, but not mileage.
