From my personal experience, going from 50psi to 32psi, I lost about 2-3 MPG (highway), but the ride is sooo much smoother and the handling (especially in the rain/snow) is 10x better.

same here with lower p.s.i. , try to keep them hovering around 34 . If you notice harsher ride , car is telling you of the abuse on your suspension as well . Tie rod ends , etc.. Which could / would accelerate the wear on those . Say if part of suspension became damaged under warranty and service center noticed the high tire pressure , they may not honor it . One or few extra m.p.g. not worth it to me .
