I keep thinking about the old movie Sleeper and Woody Allen's character wakes up in the future and is told "here, smoke this cigarette, we found out they're good for you".
Regardless, I have at least two frames that can take significantly wider tires, an easy enough experiennt to see if I like them (going from 23mm to 25mm was not too traumatic...)

they say "assumption: equal pressure" there in the small print. so, if you ride your 1.5 inch tires at 120psi, you should be good on the rolling resistance side, but you still lose on the air resistance side.
