I run my tires at 2,9 bar in all four, even factory sepcs are only 2,2 bar.
Im shure you can do some subtle areomods to the front to get even better milage on the C5.

As I told before, aeromods are illegal in Germany.
I run the tires with the pressure recommended for high loads (2.8 bar). I tested more but that gets really bumpy.
In the old Citroens (an old DS is my dream... *sigh*) you were able to manually control the height. But on the new models, the ride height lowers automatically at about 65mph by about .5-1 inch and pumps up the car on bumpy grounds by 1-2 inches. The french engineers were smart enough to make this automatic.
Manual height adjustment works at low speeds only (0-25mph), beyond this speed the electronic takes over.
