I'll bet 80 psi was way more than what was called for too.
Riding in that thing on the pavement was like riding down a dirt road in a regular car. It was just downright rough going. I'm all for saving fuel, but the damage that was possible by overworking the suspension like that would likely cancel out any fuel savings.
I am curious whether anyone has tried putting on 4 pizza cutter spare tires on their car to save gas. It would certainly offer very low rolling resistance, but wow, I'd hate to take a corner with that arrangement.
