for the money youd spend on new wheels, your not gonna make it up anytime soon in money saved at the pump.

sebba i have to disagree with you on that ac thing. the compressure runs no matter what. i tryed this on my gf car, so i know its true. she has a jeep liberty with one of those mpg things. so doing 55 miles won the road ac off windows down we got 14 mpg. windows up no ac on 18.5, windows up and ac on we got 18.2. all while doing 55 mph so that is why i have to disagree. the only reason i tryed this was becasue it was on myth busters. and they got similar results. but that was in her car idk about the eclipse. just my 2 cents on that

theres no question about it that having the ac on puts extra strain on the motor. with my car you can actually feel a power loss when you turn it on in lower gears
