If I had a long-haul freight truck, I wouldn't second guess the engineers on efficiency. But your average, run of the mill car is a sloppy POS designed to be cute or manly or whatever. Mod the hell out of it.

It is impossible to know just how much engineers sacrifice on cars to limit NVH...
It is interesting to note that out of 60 votes, nobody here inflates their tires under 35 PSI. I'll admit that I used to keep mine at 32 PSI. I have them at 38 now, and it seems better. I would like to experiment with higher pressures when I get new tires since mine are so worn down.
