I'm now a believer
I had read many places that increasing your tire pressure would help with gas mileage. I decided to give it a try. Yesterday, I increased the tire pressure on my '08 TCH from 32 lbs. to 35 lbs. Today, on my way to work, I checked the "in car" computer to see what my gas mileage was. Usually, it reads about 37.5. Today, it was 41.2 and got as high as 42.8 before I got to work. I was shocked!! And I didn't notice any difference in the ride so its staying at 35 lbs.

I run my HCHII at 44psi and don't really notice much difference in the ride, but the FE went up about 10% immediately.
