How fast was your highway speed, what was the average speed (from the multifunction display), and what fuel economy relevant options does your car have (i.e. manual / automatic transmission, wheels (15" steel, 15" aluminum, 16" aluminum), SFE or not, hatchback / sedan, etc.)?

The larger diameter tires will effectively raise the gearing a bit, and the aerodynamic stuff should improve highway fuel economy a bit (EPA tests indicate a 2mpg improvement on the highway).
