I'd have to agree... but more on the grounds of performance than fuel
efficiency. If you "over tire" a car in the rear (relative to the front
tires), you might experience a bit of extra understeer. That's what I'm
worried about on my car right now.
What's really got me thinking about it lately are the wheels I just picked up:

The rears are... a little bit bigger than the fronts. :)
