Adam Carolla has been wishing the government would start putting out PSA's telling us to inflate our tires, instead of the PSA's they currently spend our taxpayer money on, like staying seated on the plane so you're safe from unexpected turbulence.
And I've been trying to remind my friends to check their tire pressure every summer since, well, last year. I do it because heat causes air to expand, and overinflated tires have a high risk of blowing out, and also cause the car to have less traction on the road. And you don't want a blowout or an accident in the summer down here.
I'm glad that the message is out, though people are missing the point of it.
Sure, if EVERYONE does it, it'll save us a fuckton of oil, but if you sell it that way, people will shrug it off the way they shrug off any conservation message. though it won't free us from foreign oil by any means. But, it has the following advantages: 1. It'll save YOU money, no matter who you vote for. 2. It'll save you money today, instead of in ten years. 3. It's something anyone, with any car, can do today, with practically no mechanical skill, and a handful of change for the air compressor.
