For the record, here's the truth on inflating your tires, not from Barack Obama but from Charles Territo, Director of Communications for the Auto Alliance:
...By properly inflating tires, we can have an immediate impact on the more than 245 million vehicles currently on our nation's roads and highways.[...]
GÇó The Department of Energy estimates that 1.2 billion gallons of fuel were wasted in 2005 as a result of driving on under-inflated tires.
GÇó Fuel efficiency is reduced by 1% for every 3 PSI that tires are under-inflated.
GÇó Proper tire inflation can save the equivalent of about 1 tank of gas per year.
So, who are you going to believe on this, John McCain or the energy experts and the auto industry? Gee, gotta think about that one for like...a second! :)
Well done, Paris (though misleading on the effectiveness of offshore drilling). Nice takedown of the "old white-haired, wrinkled guy" who looks like The Mummy.
