I have yet to see one single car that even looks like the tires need more air.

In fact, today I took my car in for the regular oil change. The last time I needed to do it was in April. The tech, as always checked my tires for the proper pressure & did not need to add any air to any of the tires on my car.

Obama also stated that we need to get "regular tune-ups". Tune--ups, spark plugs & points are the thing of the past. In fact pre 1985 models.

Was this survey on tire pressure & tune-up's done before 1985? In order to take Obama seriously about tune-up's, it sure sounds like this survey, including tire pressure & proper inflation was done prior to 1985.

This theory is a crock, because everyone who owns a car, knows to keep their tires properly inflated. It's also very easy to notice if the tires are not inflated properly. Ever tried to steer a car with flat tires? It really doesn't handle very well.

This is nothing more than a crock--in an attempt to cover up the obvious.

Obama's & Nancy Pelosi's blatant unwillingness to drill off-shore for our own oil & natural gas, in all out effort to keep us dependant on foreign sources of energy.
