Wind can also be a huge factor in fuel economy.
Headwinds will kill it, tailwinds will help it, calm winds are easiest to deal with.

Switch to the stock 17" wheels and you would "probably" gain 1MPG... JMO Get a 5 star eco tune and you "would" get another 1MPG +, not an opinion, a fact in my case...
