Yes, a little. but if you have good quality tires the rolling resistance should be quite low either way.
A better way to conserve fuel is to start slow and anticipate stop lights. Hold your speed down. The difference in fuel consumption between 55 and 65 is quite significant; far more than tires that are down by 5 PSI.

Does not having o2 sensors in your tires affect gas mileage even if the tire is inflated properly?
Tires do not have oxygen sensors. They can have pressure sensors. The lack of pressure sensors would have no affect on fuel economy.
Will a car get better gas mileage with higher tire pressure?
No. A car will get better mileage with the correct tire pressure.
Tire pressure for Toyota RAV4?
It will show the PSI for the tire on the side wall of the tire. Usually it is 32 to 35 for best performance and fuel mileage. Hope this helps.
How does tire pressure affect a car's fuel efficiency?
If your tires are under inflated the resulting "resistance" created will lower your gas mileage. However, if you maintain the correct pressure in your tires it reduces the resistance and improves your car's efficiency. It's also safer.
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.
Does a thick tire affect mileage of bike?
no.
What does the PSI in tire pressure tell you?
Inaccurate pressure can cause poor mileage, uneven tire wear, or a tire blow-out. To prevent these events from happening it is important to maintain proper tire pressure.
what will adversely affect gas mileage tire wear and vehicle handling Radial tires will improve gas mileage?
incorrect tire inflation
What is the ideal tire pressure for a 1998 Subaru Outback?
"Ideal" can be subjective. Are you looking for a smoother ride, or longer tire life/better fuel mileage? If a smoother ride is important, go by Subaru's recommended pressure for whatever weight you're carrying in the vehicle. This can normally be found on a decal along the edge of the driver's door. If, like me, you're more concerned about tire life and fuel mileage, run the pressure up to the max that's called out on the tire's sidewall. At this pressure, the tire can safely carry its maximum load, run cooler, last longer, and get better fuel mileage. The main contributor to this is the reduced sidewall flex at the higher pressures. With modern tire construction, you no longer need to worry about poor tread wear like we had back in the bias-ply tire era. The inverse is what got Ford and Firestone in trouble by dropping the tire pressure down to dangerous levels, looking to smooth out the inherently rougher ride on an SUV.
Does changing the tire height affect anything?
It will effect the accuracy of the speedometer and odometer, effect the transmission shift points, effect the fuel mileage, effect the brake horse power,
Incorrect tire inflation can adversely affect?
Tire wear, vehicle handling and gas mileage.
Will increasing your tire pressure 2 lbs over recommended pressure increase mileage?
I doubt if 2psi will make much difference. Better to change your style of driving e.g. easy on the throttle, easy on the brakes, no hard acceleration. This will give you improved fuel mileage, do not mess with the tyre pressures.
