Just don't get them. If you're that concerned with gas mileage, you don't need them anyway.

I have been on my stock 18's (eewww) since November and I usually get 21 or 22 mixed city and highway. With my 22s it was more like 19-20 mpgs. I am dying to get my new 22s on the LS. I hate these anemic 18s. They look horrible on a car of this size.

I lost 4 mpg on the highway during a frequent 400 mile road trip I do from ATL to Memphis. With the 18s I got at least 4-5 more..no joke

pretty much how I feel as well. The trade in comfort, fuel economy, and road noise are nothing compared to how beautiful the car looks with a set of 22s
