Yeah. I don't check too frequently either. Need to right now, actually. I get the times warmed up first, check, and pump them to 60 psi. That's so that cool or cold I have my best chance at staying near, at, or above 54 psi (44 recommended on the sidewalls). MetroMPG in his test--IIRC--found 10 psi over sidewall to be the point where benefits seemed to max out. Good enough for me.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
