iPhone app. Ran it again and 14.3MPG. Must of hit wrong number. People have reported 18-20 on here. That'd be nice.

It is not the height of the tires

It is there weight

Every time it spins up from a stop or with a increase of speed it takes more fuel with more they weight more energy is required thus more fuel

The old laws of physics Energy = Mass ( times ) Aaccelerating

Something to think about
