That's because if it's on TV it must be true. Seriously the last set of michelin snow tires I had were rated at 50 PSI max. I set them from the stations 32 up to 50 and got a 3MPG increase just like that. It was on my wife's car and I didn't tell her what I was doing so for all intents it was a blind test. By looking at the MB data perhaps 45 would have been just as good. The thing you have to live with higher PSI is a harsher ride on small road imperfections.
