The manual for our '02 Echo says to inflate to 35 PSI. When I bought our high performance tires, I was told it was OK to inflate them to the max, 44 PSI. Told I would get better mileage and the handling would be better. "What's the disadvantage?" I asked, and was told "Well, TromboneAl, the only disadvantage is that the ride will be rougher." The ride is fine, and we get 41-44 MPG routinely (mostly highway).

The other thing we do, that I've mentioned before, is drive 55 most times.
