.You are a pathetic, ignorant lemming. I don't understand why this is supposed to be "funny".
From <a href="http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1829354,00.html?cnn=yes">TIME Magazine Online</a>:
The Bush Administration estimates that expanded offshore drilling could increase oil production by 200,000 bbl. per day by 2030. We use about 20 million bbl. per day, so that would meet about 1% of our demand two decades from now. Meanwhile, efficiency experts say that keeping tires inflated can improve gas mileage 3%, and regular maintenance can add another 4%. Many drivers already follow their advice, but if everyone did, we could immediately reduce demand several percentage points. In other words: Obama is right.
If that's not to your liking, perhaps this story from the <a href="http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080804/NEWS15/80804084">Detroit Free Press" is better.
I know the president doesn't believe in science, buy maybe someone here will take this article from <a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6V2W-4KWTFM8-2&_user=10&_rdoc=1&_fmt=&_orig=search&_sort=d&view=c&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=10&md5=f948d8c8782911e143d07e195e91c93a">ScienceDirect.com</a> a little more seriously.
It says (bold added):
The study indicates that <b>substantial benefits</b> would accrue if car care facilities systematically offered complimentary <b>tire pressure checks</b> with oil changes including: (i) increased safety by decreasing all crashes and saving more than 100 lives per year, (ii)<b> reduced petroleum consumption by over a billion gallons/year, which would (iia) provide over $4 billion in economic savings for US consumers </b>that could in part be recouped in retail/auto-care facilities, (iib) reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 13.5 million tons and automobile pollution and (iic) enhance national security.
