Yeah. I've been doing an experiment with my various bikes, riding the same 25.5 mile route at the same time of day - and the last couple weeks with the same temps and wind conditions - and the fastest time by a significant chunk was on the bike with 28s. I don't ascribe the speed to the fatter tires, but they don't slow me down. BUT I wouldn't run them on my 1982 Lotus, because they'd look strange. There would be room between the stays, and the fork blades, though.
