Yes to a degree. As the pressure is increased, there is less tire contact with the road surface (grip is reduced accordingly) and gas milaege improves slightly.

Increase the pressure of a gas by?
Both compressing and heating a gas will increase its pressure.
Is a gas's solubility faster in a high pressure liquid?
If the pressure of the gas increase, the solubility in a liquid increase.
How does the decreasing the gas volume affect the pressure of a gas?
The pressure increase.
Describe the changes in gas pressure?
The increase in solubility causes increase in pressure.
What As a temperature of a fixed volume of a gas increases the pressure will?
Pressure will be decreased
Will a car get better gas mileage with higher tire pressure?
No. A car will get better mileage with the correct tire pressure.
Will using a smaller tire size than stock increase gas mileage?
No, it will decrease gas mileage.
Why does the pressure in an automobile tire increase if the automobile is driven for a while?
The tire heats up do to the friction with the road, a heated gas in a set volume will increase in pressure.
Why does air pressure in a cars tire increase after a long drive?
As you drive, the friction of the road and the flexing of the tire increases the tires temperature. When you increase the temperature of a gas in a sealed container the pressure goes up.As you drive, the friction of the road and the flexing of the tire increases the tires temperature. When you increase the temperature of a gas in a sealed container the pressure goes up.
What is the best tire inflation number for improving gas mileage?
Different size tires require different inflation amounts. You can find the amount of air you need on the side of the tire. To increase gas mileage you should slightly over inflate your tires.
Will incorrect tire inflation cause bad gas mileage?
bad gas mileage
what will adversely affect gas mileage tire wear and vehicle handling Radial tires will improve gas mileage?
incorrect tire inflation
Does tire pressure effect gas mileage?
Yes, definitely. Lower tire pressure increases rolling resistance and hinders fuel economy. Deflate your bike tire by a fair percentage say 50 and drive around, it isn't easy.
How do you improve gas mileage in a Kia Sedona?
I have found keeping rpm under 2500, increase tire pressure and k and n ken replacement filter to help. It's just a hog...can only do so much.
Incorrect tire inflation can adversely affect?
Tire wear, vehicle handling and gas mileage.

Do you get better gas mileage by car if you use higher octane gas?
Yes, higher octane gas does give higher gas mileage for your car. However, the increase in gas mileage may not as great as the increase in the price of the higher octane gas.
