    Raising pressures has diminishing results beyond a certain point, but from 32 to 35 I think you'd see some improvement. In North America the regular Prius is 35/33 front/rear, if I recall correctly. Our has 17" which are maybe 33/32 (f/r) but I set them (all four) to around 35~36. It's not a lot of difference in ride quality, though 17" are more hard ride to begin with.

    Thanks alot, I'll increase the pressure and share my experience with you.
    Meanwhile can you please tell me where is the port to connect a scanner in Aqua 2012?

    Generally speaking, yes. Although the actual improvement may be in the "noise" and hard to notice.

    It certainly wouldn't raise it 15 mpg(6.37 l/km).

    The connector port is underneath your steering wheel just above you right leg. (Near the hood-release lever)

    23 Km/l sound pretty incredible to me! I can only get that by driving at around 40 - 50 mph (64 - 80 Km/h) with a very light right foot!
