Not to be a smartass but if you are just driving hard lanes, increase your air pressure to 38 and see if it increases your mileage. I run 35/12.5/17s on stock. I was running 33psi and was averaging 13mpg. took the psi to 38 and was making between 17 and 18 mpg and the ride wasn't much different. I know someone will bring up tire wear. I don't know the answer on that.

I’ll agree with that. My wife’s Patagonias like higher pressures as they run on the center block of tread and increase mileage. I’m sure every tire is different. I run mine high too because I drive too much.
