Default Hanook Tires (Different Size)

I just bought my Insight and it came with Hanook tires on them (175/65/14). Has anybody ever used these? Do you think that I'm losing a lot when it comes to mileage?

My experience is that 185/60R14 tires and 195/55R14 tires increase fuel consumption by about 10%. Your 175/65/14 tires will probably increase fuel consumption between 5% to 10% more then the OEM 165/65R14 tires.
