Gas Mileage by Footwear?

Yes, odd question came to my mind.

But do YOU think that footwear plays a role in gas mileage?
When i'm wearing sandles, i like to set cruise and have a nice ride. However, when i wear boots...it feels like race time, flooring the car left and right.

Well if you don' change the seat, the thickness of the sole will/might slightly affect it...
Or the weight that's on you foot can make your foot drop more = more gass burning?

I drive differently depending on my footware, i feel more comfortable with the boots, more control...

I think you are right man. I wore my sandles all summer long, and today i drove with boots... man, i guess the extra thickness and weight just makes me want to step on the gas all the time. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]
