    new tires poor MPG?

    Just installed a new set of Kumho TA31 165/65R14 79T to replace stock tires at 44k miles. Pumped up tires to the max of 44 PSI. Got another alignment due to past problems and have adjustable camber bolts installed but alignment now shows good. Did another 0w-20 oil change, and replaced air filter for the heck of it.

    With all this done I am getting seriously poor MPG compared to before. I have to be doing 50 no stops to see 43+MPG and around town with stop signs I am seeing 30ish and getting around 38-40 doing 65 on the highway with AC on. Quite frankly I don't get why it has gotten to be so poor. Are the Kumhos that much worse than the enasaves?
