I wouldn't go that far. I do seem to be down in mileage efficiency with new Ecopias versus the old ones, which is to be expected. I can't put a precise number on it because my driving conditions are much too complex for accurate measurements, although every energy number I've seen since the new tires seems to be a bit higher than before over the same legs of my routes. I try to keep the new tire efficiency drop in mind when stretching range, as I'm about to do tomorrow on a long run over the mountains to the dealer and back (
the hard part), given my 14+% degraded battery. Don't know what I'm going to do when my battery is down 25% or more.
