One EOC that I do which used to last .8 miles, is now almost 1.2 miles, so I can start about 5 MPH slower without blowing the red light. With adding P&G to the mix and knocking some weight off the car, I have seen an incredible increase in MPG. Check my chart on the last 2 fill ups, roughly 4-5 MPG. I'm tired of typing.
Just last month, I informally tested 55 vs 60 psi. There's a certain long but gentle downhill on my commute, about 1/2 mile long. 55 psi would just maintain speed at 40mph, while 60 psi would gain about 5, to 45mph at the bottom.
