I think tires can make a big difference. My 205/55 x 16 with a 300 UTOQ rating are kinda sticky, and I may replace them when the time comes with a less sticky tire with a longer life. Mine will be done by the end of the summer--with about 22K miles on them. Sticky tires wear faster than less sticky ones.
Mileage does go down when the snow tires go on, but I can never tell if it's also related to winter gas, which happens at about the same time... November for me.
I'll have to try the A/C on or off on the highway sometime. I think this is one that depends on the car, amount of drag with windows down, how much drag the A/C puts on the engine, etc. For a mile or two per gallon on a long trip I'd rather have it be quieter and more comfy.
