tire pressure question

Came back from the dealer and the next day checked the pressures on cold tires, the driver side tires are exactly 0.3 psi lower than the passenger side (F36/R42 psi there), so I'm thinking that this must have been intentional...does it make sense to be set up that way and why? I always pumped up my tires exactly the same and wonder if this unequal setup is just psychological/placebo/negligible?

0.3 psi? How do you even get such an accurate measurement? I'd worry if it was 5psi off.

I run roughly 33f and 36r psi for normal driving and lower it about 2-3psi for spirited driving.

That's my digital gauge, no idea how accurate it is...

Yup, +\- a few psi not a huge deal. 0.3...like a rounding error and good job by the dealer!
