OK, I know there's some dyed-in-the-wool (should that be died-...?) hypermillers that drive on rocks (50+ psi in tires), but how many here (*Accord forum) do that?

I received 37 mpg on my first tank with the recommended psi. Last night, I bumped them to the max 44. Results: MUCH rougher ride (surprised by how much rougher) and received about 2 mpg better on my 35 mile trip (33.8 mpg in 34 degrees on my mostly uphill climb - an overall 450 foot climb, but hilly). I'm reserving judgement on the overall mpg effect until I return home for the overall difference - my return is always much better due to the more downhill and warmer temp.

Anyway, we bought the slightly higher ($) Accord because of increased hp and greater comfort. I was just curious if, as a whole, our group would be less mpg dilligent. For me, I believe I'll continue to work on mpg (because of that whole competitive thing), but I don't think 2 mpg is worth the harsher ride.
