Swapped back to my 15" Ascends on this tank so I reset the trip meter. I have a long trip tomorrow so I fueled up early. Ascends are at 42/40psi. Highway speed 60mph. Indicated mpg 58.8mph and AVG indicated speed 43mph. Morning commute temps 57-60F and evening commute temps 80-82F. High winds on one 35mile trip. I'm observing a 3mpg drop vs. the Energy Saver A/S I was testing but a 3mpg boost vs. the 215/45/17 Michelin Primacy MXM4.
