35 is the max (safest) tire pressureDO Not go above it or your chances of having a blow out or worse go up

On my Yokohama tires I have 28 psi. Check your gas station to see how much ethanol is in the gas. With no ethanol I get 19.5+ mpg. With ethanol now I get 18 to 18.5 at 10% ethanol. The higher the ethanol content the more my mpg drops. Some stations have 15% or more around here. (SE Pa). Don''t forget to use fuel injector cleaner once a month. Also a clean air filter helps.
