I think my (heart related only) medication is fine. If you have reason to believe medication affects post quality, why don't you take your own advice?

The amount of pressure is per vehicle and tire type. But the goal is the same: pressure equalization.
The absolute values don’t have relevance as a comparison.
Over or under isn't good. There’s a minimum, to be sure.
One tests for it. Do you not know the values for your vehicle tires? Empty, or loaded to maximum there is a valid range of corrected pressure. What are the highs and lows?
1). Tire manufacturers Load & Pressure Table.
2). Vehicle manufacturers range of acceptable pressures.
#1 is a reference for #2. Put the vehicle on a segmented scale (weigh bridge) and get the values per axle. Better, get them for each wheel position. As the heaviest wheel determines the axle value.
Which tire on each axle was heaviest? Under what condition of vehicle load?
There is a baseline. Valid testing can’t be done otherwise. Just setting to a number isn’t acceptable where longest life, lowest cost per mile, and greatest risk reduction are the key factors.
FE isn’t valid. It’s an only an outcome.
FE is tire design. Then operator skill (to promote longest life). “Skill” is in knowing first the pressure envelope, then adjusting operationally.
Must be nice to be able to afford to throw away tires.
