Ford are notorious for quoting low pressures. They do that because Joe Average likes the smooth sponge cake like ride.
Enthusiasts know better.
Talk to a good tyre dealer, or better still try it yourself. It makes a world of difference.
Your fuel economy will improve, tyre life will improve, handling, etc.
It also depends on the brand of tyre, some like very high pressures and just keep on feeling better the higher you go.
I don't think I've used less than 36psi on any car I've ever owned in the last 20+ years.
