Do you have a linked source for that assertion? Does that cover just the US or the entire world? We use about 21 million bbls of oil a day, which means that we could save about 20% of our oil consumption. That is pure nonsense. Whoops I did make a mistake. Here is the figure from google.
The U.S. Department of Energy says that American’s waste 3.56 million gallons of gas or $14.2 million in gas a day at $4 a gallon due to tire pressure. For every penny increase in the gas price, an additional $35,600 is lost in low tire pressure gas loss in America.

A 42-gallon barrel of oil makes about 19.5 gallons of gasoline. If we waste 3.56 million gallons of gas a day due to tire inflation, then that equates to about 183,000 bbls of oil, a far cry from 4 million.
I wonder how much gas is wasted sitting in traffic? I am sure it is much, much more.
