I was doing 20 MPG after a 7 hour highway drive with poorly inflated tires (30ish PSI each) so I can only assume that at 36 PSI each I must be gaining at least 2 MPG. I was just guessing though.

And that was holding the cruise control right at 98-100ish km/h. People behind me sure didn't like it, but meh. It's the speed limit anyways.
