I experienced the same thing as Taka, switching from Nokian RSi's to my
Bridgestone RE011's on the Saabaru. Lost 2 MPG going from a moderately low
grip snow to a relatively sticky summer. I've REALLY had to nurse the car to
attempt to reclaim some MPG, shifting at 1900 RPM, etc. Need to get the UrS
out for a roll.
