The conversion has started

My nephew came over the other day and I asked what his pressure were, he said "about 35 psi". I told him they looked low and that we would check and see. Turns out they had 30 all around. I bumped them up to sidewall max and while doing so was telling him what to expect, rougher ride, increase in steering response and better FE. He said his gauge was telling him 28.1 mpg on his trip to my house, about a 30 mile trip. I told him to reset it and call me with the results. He called and said he got 33 on his way home and that he had never got such good mileage. He also loved the more sporty response of the higher pressures.
