Be careful with going overly high on the hyperinflation. You'll get uneven tire wear which will cause pre-mature wear, thus nullifying any savings on fuel.
You know you are completely wrong? most people on here and places like cleanmpg.com ahve their tire pressures much higher. like most that have any clue the higher you go the less frictional losses and variances you have leading to less deflection and energy wasted throughout the tire leading to less wear, better handling, longer life,more even wear, no need for tire rotations and much longer glides.

its like oil companies telling people to change their oil every 3k with all oils even synthetic, when they want to make money and have things wear out faster so people have to buy more stuff.
