Low Rolling Resistance Tires
#8
For the cost of the tires, you can tune for 87 "fuel efficiency" with an XCal2 or 3 and save 10% more gas, easily. Keep your tires inflated to spec, drive with a lighter foot and smoothly and you'll be well above the rated fuel economy for your vehicle.

Guys are tuning their Escapes (3.0L Duratecs and the 4-cyls) over at escape-central.com and getting well above 10% better fuel economy with more response. Altered lockup schedules, adjusted shift pressures and shift timing, adjusted shift points under load etc. It all makes a difference.
