The effect of inflation pressure on rolling resistance. Nice graph showing % RR reduction with increasing pressure. Graph not clickable, but it shows going to 44psi from 24psi gives a 27% reduction in RR!
Slight correction: the graph's range is from 24psi up to 4

psi. And the curve certainly looks to be very flat at 40psi -- anything above 40psi seems to have greatly diminished returns.
