I find it odd that the same people that talk about personal responsibility and that individual Americans should solve problems rather than government are now making fun of Obama for suggesting individuals do that very thing rather than offering a government solution. If he was to have suggested the government get involve and mandate something that would have conserved fuel then they would be shouting out the stereotypical socialist charge they usually dish out. He actually has released energy proposals that are available on his web site. This happens to be something in addition that people can do that will conserve fuel and makes sense to at least bring up if we are serious about reducing consumption of fuel. Anyway, one of the new trends in my town is to put nitrogen in tires since it leaks out much slower. If it saves fuel then I'm all for it. Instead of looking for one silver bullet to solve this problem it will take a combination of many things together that can make a difference in the sum total of them. Tire maintenance happens to be one of them. Making childish remarks making fun of it and giving out devices to check tire pressure that say "Obama's energy plan" are not productive and lower the level of debate.
