I would say you would see more improvement in MPG by increasing air pressure in your tires (rough ride)and by keeping speeds below 70 MPH (hard to do)
This is a fallacy and is very unsafe, with the increased pressure and when your tires heat up your blow out possibility is imminent.

Doc, thanks for the reference site.

Do you over inflate your tires, wear out the center part of your tread, cringe every time you hit a bump. If YOU do! more power to you. I don't its dumb, costly and not safe.

I would never recommend someone to do something that I wouldn't do that's dangerous. Ifyou are that type of person then I hope it never comes back at you.

No one said anything about over-inflating the damn tires Bro. Read the sidewall, as most hummer tires can safely handle much more air than the average person drives on. My Mickey Thompson tires say max pressue is 60psi on the sidewall. Are you telling me that you air up you tires up this high on a daily basis and you wouldnt have any room to go any higher?

And no I don't air up with higher PSI, I keep it at the recommended psi as noted on the door plate. What I meant was you recommended it and do you do it. I don't.

Plus it doesn't do anything negligible to increase MPG anyway. I don't want to get into a pi$$$$ing contest.

The real problem is, they bought a Alpha and want the mileage of a Yaris by doing what they can to it. They should have gotton the I-5.
