Tire pressure?

[nemelek]

I have been involved in 2 personal injuries lawsuits in my life. One has the plaintive and the other has the defendant. From my experience, I certainly wouldn’t put anything past lawyers or insurance companies. Running tires over or under inflated is a persons personal decision, that I respect. However, if I was way out of Toyota guidelines I would not post my PSI on the internet. It could be a decision that would bite me in the ass at a later time. The same goes for oil viscosity.

The way I look at it, if running nearly double the psi in my tires was the new super-magic way to see increased fuel economy, every single car company would have jumped on that free bandwagon years ago. They haven't because they want their customers to have a balance of handling, braking and fuel economy, not tilt the scales totally in favor of a 20% increase of fuel economy for their products.
