where did my MPG's go?????...
Well i put on some new rims. 18 OZ ultraleggeras with some 225 40 18 falken's on about two tank fulls ago, averaged around 340 miles. This one i hope that i get 300 miles on a tank. I know that they weigh about a half pound more than my stock rims and the radius is much smaller, but should it affect my mpg's this much? I used to get 375 to 400 pretty easy with my stockers on. Should i be concerned? Thanks for the advice.

My brother has the same rims
He said he did not notice any difference when he put the rims on. You probably are just driving a little different than usual.... showing off the rims.... I know when i do something to my car i usually drive alot harder then normal.... leading to less MPG.

Check air pressure, and perhaps get a more accurate way to measure MPG
