I used to get mileages in the low/mid 20's when I first got my van, but after
I got the correct sized tires the mileage dropped.  Those crappy little
chevette tires were spinning like crazy, and the speed & mileage were
artificially inflated (IIRC they were 175R70's).  I lost a few MPG, but
everyone else on the road started driving slower!  Weeeeird....

If you're getting 25 mpg on the proper tires, that's great!
