Had the third full fill-up with the new tires. The mileage over those 1,080 miles (32.58MPG) is almost exactly the average I had with the OEM tires over the first 60,000 or so miles (32.60).

In my opinion, and I'm far from a "tire guy", the new all seasons are much better tires than the original summer Michelins. They are stickier, not nearly as noisy or bumpy and seem to give me the same "advantages" as the Michelins in terms of "low rolling".

It remains to be seen if they last as long, but there are supposedly 70K mile tires so I've got my fingers crossed on that.

Anyway, for what it's worth the Bridgestones seem to be an excellent choice as a commuter tire.
