summer/performance rubber has a bigger contact patch
meaning more resistance; and I'm sure weight's a part
of it too.

On racing bicycles, the key is to get as little a
contact patch as possible to reduce the resistance,
reducing the energy from the rider.

And this applies to us how..?

Wouldn't the weight and the probably larger, wider
size of the 
performance
rubber be the real cause of the mileage difference and
not the amount 
of
grip the rubber has on the road?  Just doesn't seem
like the grip could
account for really any change in mpg.  Don't most
poeple run smaller,
narrower rubber in winter than in summer?  And in many
cases, different
wheels too?
