Angry Poor gas mileage!

I recently notice that I'm only getting 16 miles a gallon!!!!!!

I do have 19 X 8.5 F and 19X9.5 R, but It shouldn't decrease the milleage that bad. Has anyone notice how many miles they are getting pr gallon? Anyone with rims have this problems?

BTW, I did not notice the decrease in mieage untill 3 months after I got my rims. And this was all Highway mileage.

I prior to ordering my CLK 270 CDI , almost purchased the CLK 320 Petrol, really glad to have stuck with the diesel as Im geting approx 40 -46 mpg , with a 0-60 time of about 7.4 secs which is acceptably as in the Uk we are paying about $6.51 per gallon or $91.00 USD a tank full [Petrol or Diesel]

The torque that this car has now is amazing as my brother can verify as he sees me pass him in his Porche boxter s, he to has driven my car & has been amazed at the perfomance.

Okay its not quite CLK 500 etc super status , but Im happy it certainly will walk the 320 petrol with ease


:p
