Proper Tire Inflation? Great. How About the Other Two out of Every Three Drivers?

(By Jim Geraghty/National Review Online) - The RNC is chuckling over Obama calling for voters to make “sure your tires are properly inflated” because “we could save all the oil that they’re talking about getting off drilling if everybody was just inflating their tires.”

RNC spokesman Alex Conant responds, “Obama’s solution to America’s energy crisis is inflating tires?! Maybe he’s been out of the country too long.”

I'll give Obama a smidgen of credit, in that yes, having properly inflated tires can get you a few more miles per gallon.
