AAA, NASCAR and now even flip-flopper extraordinaire McCain agree that proper tire inflation is one of the best things to do to ensure your car gets optium MPG.metalman said:Paris Hilton says "drill here, drill now", the air head ObamaMessiah is advocating a, "inflate your tires" energy plan.
This is a good description ---
... estimates of the Bush Administration state that expanding offshore drilling could increase oil production by 200,000 bbl. per day by 2030. Americans now use about 20 million bbl. per day, so 200,000 barrels per day would meet about 1% of our demand- in about 20 years.
But today efficiency experts say that keeping tires inflated can improve gas mileage 3% and regular maintenance can boost that another 4%. If everyone kept their cars tunes and tires full, we could reduce demand several percentage points right away, saving gas, dollars andCO2 emissions
