    I have reviewed first 5 pages and found no threads regarding A/S vs. Winter tire MPG.

    Please post your MPG drop you're seeing with snow tires over OEM tires.

    OEM Bridgestone Ecopia 195/65/15 tires: 53-55MPG

    Firestone Winterforce 195/65/15 tires: 46-48MPG

    Overall drop: ~7 MPG

    For the last 10 fuel-ups I've been averaging 45.6.

    I haven't really tried that hard for best MPG for most of the past 10 fuel-ups. Additionally, I have a remote starter to help get the cabin nice and warm for my daughter in the morning trips to daycare, which negatively impacts my overall MPG.
