I didn't see the mpg I thought I should see until I added 4 psi to the front tires.
Then all the sudden my mileage jumped a good bit. That measly 4psi took the tire from sidewall max of 44 to 48. Pretty darn amazing that small change made but I guess the tire needed it to roll better. Immediate difference in coasting!

Needless to say but soon after all my tires were at 50psi.
