And the idiot light only comes on if the pressure is grossly, dangerously low.
In another part of the report (pamplet) is said "in 2005, about 1.2 billion gallons were wasted as a result of driving on underinflated tires."

It went further on to state consumption figures: 9,286,000 barrels/day (390 million gallons/day) which translates to a per annum figure of 142,350,000,000 gals per year.

So, a savings of 1.2billion gallons by inflating equals a savings of .84%. Still looking for that 3 to 4% number.

It's Miller Driller time.
