Tire Pressure B6 A4 3.0 17's conti sports???

I have read various opinions and with gas prices the way they are I want to make sure I am at the right pressure (I know I am ****), but also to save my rubber.... Can you guys tell me the right Tire Pressure I should have....? I am in the NW.
Thanks

I'd follow whatever's recommended on your door sticker...

You might get slightly better MPG numbers if you overinflate the tires, but it'll result in bumpy ride and uneven treadwear, so it's not worth it, IMO.

2nd (IIRC it's 32psi), but a lot of B6 guys have been running 36-38psi w/ good results :^)

Then again, many of us live in the NE where the roads are crappy and we need the extra pressure to save our wheels. I visit Portland regularly and the roads there are like butter in comparison.
