Since March I’ve inflated my tires in my Xterra to 40 psi, up from the 32 I used to keep. I haven’t noticed any difference in mpg. For some reason I still continue to check my mpg at each fill-up in both of my cars even though I can predict my mpg pretty closely without doing the exact calculations. I’ve been doing it for so long in both of my cars.
I guess Barry wants me to overinflate my tires to 80 psi and risk a freeway blowout and compromise the safety of those around me in order to save billions of barrels of oil. We should risk killing others instead of killing a seagull while drilling for oil.
The worst part for Obama and the best part for McCain was the reaction he got from the Missouri blue collar crowd, virtual silence. You don’t tell blue collar workers how to operate their cars, that’s like giving the same speech at Taladega, bad move Obambi.
How are you measuring MPG? A 1% chance in wheel diameter will reduce by 1% the odometer reading for traveling a given real distance.
