I have this vision, of him standing there, with boxes upon boxes of custom tire gauges... asking one of his team if they can get on the "computing machine" and see if they can sell them off on this "e-bay thing" he's heard about... LOL

McCain & the RNC liked the idea sooooo much, they gave Obama staffers custom tire gagues.

Oh btw, real nice spin on the subject by ole Huffy

i check my air pressure everytime i fill my tank with gas. i thought most people did this, maybe i'm wrong. it's a simplistic idea but effective in a small manner. maybe that is why it was mocked at first. i doubt the oil crisis is going to be solved with tire gauges though.

12 cents a gal. savings adds up.

Conservation is the low hanging fruit on the energy tree and the easiest cheapest fastest way to lower costs and our dependence.

But not as sexy as drilling or warring for oil.
