I've been getting pretty crazy gas mileage!
Ever since I swapped my LS Meshs out for HX wheels (in white ) I've been getting really great gas mileage. Would it be improbable to conclude that smaller wheels/lighter wheels give you better gasmileage? Any feedback is welcome!

The tire pressure on the LS were maximum 44 PSi, and inflated to about 39-40. Is that wrong? Anyways, I filled the tires on my HX wheels with the same psi due to the fact that they have 44 Max psi also.

The only thing I can guess is that it messed up your speed sensor with smaller diameter tires, making it read more miles while gas consumption is nearly the same.

Re: (HiProfile)
im basing the mileage off my gas gauge instead of the odometer. My gas has barely gone down from halfway since Monday = 120 miles

Re: (Hulk_EJ8)
dude you are going to unevenly wear out those tires
put them all at like 32. too high center will wear out, too low edges will wear out.
Plus at 39 psi you must be slidding all over the place
