What size are the tires you are running on the rears?

When I first got my '98 I was getting much worse mileage than I now get. It took about a year of "spirited" driving to clean out all of the crud from the intake and exhaust and get it to the point where it now routinely gets around 30 MPG. If yours was owned by someone who drove it like a little old lady that could explain it too (though with chrome AMG wheels it seems hard to believe the PO was an old lady).
