Ignored it………MPG improved!
I was used to my BMW’s staggered running 32 up front and 35 in the rear due to size difference My oversight.
This thread offers nothing new BTW. I have read this before but ignored it. Read a few posts complaining about MPG and was not thrilled with mine either. Engine usually starts to improve at or around 5k, and I reset my monitor then. With gas prices rising and my driving more back to precovid days I thought I’d at least revisit this.

AWD , running at 35psi cold. Just like they said so in the door. When I got the car warm they always ran 38+ so I lowered it. Like I said, never had a car with real time monitoring. I also understand temperature via the seasons has much to do with it.

On a more serious note....I was talking to one of the tire shop guys a long time ago about not liking how a certain set of tired handled. He mentioned going a tad bit higher on the pressure, I think it was about 3 PSI and it definitely made a difference. I'm still playing with the GS and figuring out what I like so I don't know that I have a good sense of things but maybe I'll set them a little higher this winter.
