Thats a very valid point put forth by John... again this has some bearing on FE but then it will ensure the longevity of your turbo

Regarding tyre pressure please consult the guru's. Discuss with Prajesh on what he uses. 28 all around might not be a good idea.

WRT Swift DDiS we maintain slightly higher up front due to the engine weight. This might not be a healthy practice but it makes a great drive and handling. Maybe you can alter tyre pressure at every refuel and judge the change in ride quality/handling and fe this way
