Update: I have checked and added pressure to my tires and will report my fuel mileage results over time.

Old pressure- 40/38 psi
New Pressure- 44/41 psi (44 is sidewall max)

So far I have not noticed any negative ride or handling characteristics. I may experiment with higher pressure if the MPG results are promising enough to justify it.
