OOPS bad mornig typos....

my tires are 31x10.5x15 equiv to a 265/75R15 I think. When I had the
235/75R15 I got roughly 18mpg

My driving is a mix of interstate, highway and town driving at a total of 44
miles round trip.

22gal tank i use about a quarter of a tank on one day and go to work
another.

Not real good now at $1.75/gal
