I don't want to ride efficient, I want to ride fast, LOL.

AND running your tires at low pressure reduces fuel economy and increases tire wear and reduces casing durability every 10 psi is a 2% loss in fuel economy and more tire tread is more rolling resistance the best road surface is polished concrete at minus 12% ,asphalt with a finish coat is 13% more rolling resistance -a medium coarse finish 4% more, coarse Aggregate another 8 % more, chip and seal blacktop is the worst with another 33 % more. energy dissipation in the tires and suspension give a loss of mpg and horsepower
 
Did they ever get back to you with options? I know the other options given here like saddle bag fuel and so on are cheaper, but still would like to know what Chopper Supply has to say.
