I never put to much stock into what other people's liability lawyers tell me.


@Steve: That's great info, and it's interesting to see how the recommended pressure is linear between the two vehicles. One thing that's worth adding is that for hypermilers lowering the rolling resistance is just as much about increasing coasting distance as it is for making powered driving more efficient.

On a different note, the first folks I ever knew of that were jacking their tire pressure up to 60 PSI was a segment of the 1st generation Prius crowd.
