Yeah, speaking of which, I put on some new virgos with hugely wide 225/50 tires on my 142 recently. I don't know which is making the biggest difference, the increased rolling resistance from the fat rubber, or the smaller overall diameter when compared to my 195/65s that I was running. In any case, now my speedo says 75 when I'm actually only going 70 mph, that's pretty rough for me because I like to always go 10 mph over the speedlimit, and I've got a fourspeed... Ouch, now I get 17mpg...
