what psi for best gas mileage

Is it best to fill up your tires to the max psi or a couple of pounds under the max psi? Im trying to improve my gas mileage cause my 19' rims are killing me. Don't tell me to get smaller rims cause thats not what i want to do

white rice has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Bigger wheels means more rolling resistance. If you want better gas milege you should consider a smaller wheel size. I would say that 17" is a good compromise between looks and gas mileage. Keep your tires inflated between 30-32 psi cold. Once they heat up, that increases about 3-4 psi.
