    I'm hoping to get an idea of what kind of mpg increase one would see if they were to increase the tire pressures from recommended (35 F/33 R psi) to max (44 F/ 42 R). Does anyone have any stats of their own that they tracked?

    Do a search of the Gen II forums since a lot of the ground-breaking work was done during that time.
