The Vehicle My Mule in my garage has good descriptions of how I achieved my mileage. So from that the best I can offer is Tank to tank numbers related to PSI.

Best mileage I got with factory PSI was 32.93mpg
Increased pressure to 44PSI (Sidewall Max) and achieved 36.21mpg (Also improving technique)

Then later on i hit a high of 38.8mpg at 44psi
Jumped up again to 50psi and saw a bump to 41.3mpg, but I also slowed down 5mph on my entire highway trips.

So inconclusive but at least it contributes to the gains.
