max pressure must be a little uncomfortable and will wear the "footprint" quicker than normal. what psi are you speaking of?

I just traded in a 2002 Highlander V6. I typically saw 16-18MPG in heavy stop/go summer driving. Winter regularly dropped down to 15-16MPG. I only have 41 miles on the new Hybrid Highlander so I'lll be curious to see how my driving habits compare.
