I am running 44psi, max sidewall rating in the tires, and have approx 33k miles on the Goodyear rubber. (I run snow tires on a separate set of rims, Dec 1 through Apr 1)

At dealer delivery the tires only had 28psi, and I put them to 32psi at the first fill up. About 2 months later I raised it to 40, and eventually settled on 44.

The ecometer was not yet popular when I bought, so I went with the ScanGuage II.

You can get the ScanGuage for $155 if you look hard. I liked having the 4 readouts which I have set to display: Trip Mpg, Tach, Coolant Temp, and Throttle Position. Keeping the Tach around 2100 or the Throttle around 23, video game style, helps to make the Trip Mpg climb up.

The other advantage to the ScanGuage is that you can set a function to display most any engine condition it can clear some error codes.
