When I got it this year, it came with 215/65/16s. The last owner must have changed them. They are noticeably larger than the 205's on my mom's 91.

oh, whoops, my bad. You're right. 15". I knew that.........I guess I'm just spacing out.
stock - 205/65/15
current - 215/65/15. Still running on factory rims.

I know you're smarter then that" 
(It's the stress of being unemployed) But I don't think that little difference in size would make that big of a difference in mileage. You can check your odometer with the mile markers on the highway, I check mine every once in a while for the heck of it. Good luck on the job search, you're gonna need all the luck you can get, it's tough out there now. I think I need to go outside my profession to find something.

I'm finally just having to accept the reality that my car will never see more than 12-13 in town. I try to cut back the driving. I almost got rid of it last week though. Was going to buy a 97 Monte Carlo off of a friend of my dad. It was only $500 and in fine shape, just needed a fuel pump, so figure another $200 and a few hours bathing in gasoline. Then sell my car for $3500-4000 and put extra cash in savings. However, I don't think the fuel mileage on the monte carlo would been a huge improvement, maybe 17-18 in town, 28-30 on the highway at most.

Wow, Yesterday I needed 17.3 gallons to fill up my '92 (it wasn't quite empty) after going 360 miles. That's 20.8 by my math.
