with my intake, fart can and NST underdrive pulley i get the same in-city mileage. however, the faster i got on the highway now, the more i lose due to the breathing mods....if i stuck closer to the speed limit on the highway im sure id get better mileage (vs sitting at 3500rpm for hours on end, lol)

more than likely a wider tire...
maybe more sidewall support because it's sport oriented as well...
further out the weight is the more it's amplified too...
a lighter tire would make a much more substantial difference than a wheel...
we need to do a tire lightening session, or a DIY with a power drill, performance gains will be huge! keeping the air in will be difficult though...
