Over inflating the tires (as is the case @42psi) will narrow the contact patch and result in less tire surface area contacting the road and less traction.

Personally, MPG takes a back seat to my safety and the safety of my passengers
Glad to see there is another tire professional on the forum! I'll back you 100%!! I've been in too many Michelin/BFG, Goodyear, Yokohama, Hankook, Toyo, Pirelli and a few other classes and Ride & Drive's to have people tell us we are wrong...
