I usually ran the Toyos overinflated and still only got 28.5mpg on isolated highway runs with the cruise control. I didn't push the inflation on the Nokians beyond whatever the tire shop inflated them to so the driving style and terrain were pretty much identical for the two trips. Since that weekend the mileage has dropped but my driving has reverted back to local around town driving. The numbers aren't conclusive yet but it looks like I'm getting as good around town on the Nokians as I did on the highway with the Proxxes 4's. *I multiply the miles driven by 1.0351 to adjust for the slightly taller tires*.
