I am running generic 3 season tires on my minivan. Have been running the tires over 50 psi now for some time. Tires still are wearing very evenly Must have good seats as it rides comfortable and handles fine. It has the 3.8 v6. Still runs fine and gets 25+avg for the tank in warm weather. Ambient temps and wind are big factors.

One technique that works good for me is to keep the throttle light all the time. I don't pulse and glide Keep your instant mpg higher than your average.
