Never tried it, wil do but it is so difficult to find reproducible circumstances to see if there is a difference.
I lower it because it feels a bit more stable and subjectivity less effect of side wind. But also a bit less comfort when driving on bad highways like in Belgium. On good high ways my preferred setting is adaptive and suspension lowered to sport level.

I don't know about economy. I didn't test it, I would have to try. But is could be (a bit) with (a bit ?) less air resistance?
