In fact, if everyone checked their tire pressure every other time they filled up with gas and topped it off accordingly, that would save more oil that would be found through off-shore drilling. By the numbers: we waste 61 million barrels of oil due to low pressure tires. Offshore drilling may bring us 18 million barrels. Even George W. Bush could understand this math, but then again, he's not 72 years old, and he's sent an email before.
McCain's ignorance, and his mocking of Obama underscores a deep division between those Americans who refuse to spend 2 minutes doing something that can help us all and save some money.
Here are some gas saving tips:
1. Make sure your tires are properly inflated.
2. Drive at 55 mph on the highway where possible, any faster than that will impact fuel economy.
3. Accelerate smoothly, do not "floor it".
4. Use cruise control as much as possible.
So, is Obama's argument for tire inflation a "left wing conspiracy"? Hardly. What other organizations agree that inflating your tires will lead to real savings?

Who will benefit from this? Everyone.

That's true about underinflated tires. They do waste gas. The tips you mentioned about saving gas are true. Also, I still think we should do off-shore drilling. It can't hurt. Also, McCain maybe doing too much bashing and that's wrong but it's not McCain's decision, it's his people. He should stop it, though. I bet Obama will bash McCain once the election comes closer. Obama maybe being a nice guy now but wait till later. He'll be as much of a basher too.
