I've been up and down the range of pressures some (pinch flatted with front tire at 35).
Rolling resistance at lower pressures with my tires and bike is noticeably more work.
But "a pressure" is also not apples and apples. A 26" takes more pressure than a 29".  A 2.1 width takes more pressure than a 2.3.  And Jim at 180 takes more pressure than Josh at 165, and Lynn at 120 takes a lot less pressure than Jim.
Tires with stiffer sidewalls require less pressure than tires with really flexible sidewalls.
