Keep the ones you have inflated as high as you can tolerate. At 50 psi versus 40 your lean burn will probably engage 15-20% more, everything else being equal.

Thanks Mech for the Info once again.
I think I will bring up the tire pressure now to 50psi. Our forecast for this Month is for much cooler temps around 75 for the high. So I think I will be safe?
