Guys what the best psi for fuel efficency (205/65/r15)....
Yes, the fronts will always be deformed a little more due to the front-heavy weigh distribution of the car. The front should be 2-3psi more than the rear - not more than that.
The recommended pressure should be around 32/30 (f/r) psi, but you can push that up to 40/38 or so and still not be uncomfortable. I would recommend under 35 unless the bulk of your travel is on smooth highways.
In the end, you'll find almost no measurable savings in fuel economy. The real fuel economy savings is when you start with underinflated tires and bring them up to proper pressure.

higher psi >> better gas mileage, more uncomfortable, decrease in handling, increase in power
lower psi >> worse gas mileage, more comfertable, increase in handling, lose in power
stock spec for 17" is 32psi all around... i have mine @ 35psi. i forgot the stock spec for 15", i suppose it's 30psi? maybe u should try 33psi and see wat will happen...

My father-in-law did extensive testing with tire PSI on his 94 max. He's a tight wade like that. He found out the optimal PSI is 32. He said after 32 it didn't make as much difference and also you have less contact with the road.
