No, really, it is. Keeping your tires inflated properly is good advice. My Dad gave it too me when I got my first car, a ’79 Trans Am (6.6 liter, 403 Oldsmobile engine, load levers, t-tops, midnight blue, Hurst dual-gate slap stick (insert Tim Allen laugh here.))
AAA and other auto clubs give that advice.
Your mechanic will give that advice, and, when you get your oil changed, most places will also check the tire pressure. They do at Jiffy Lube.
And, yes, the government does recommend that you keep your tires inflated properly. The Left loves this advice so much that they are even quoting the Bush admin!
You should do it. Don’t over-inflate, particularly when it is hot or you are going to take a trip, and check it when it more often when it gets cold. Full details here.
But…….
Barry was not giving advice. He was giving an energy policy and plan. The original
There are things you can do individually, though, to save energy. Making sure your tires are properly inflated — simple thing. But we could save all the oil that they’re talking about getting off drilling — if everybody was just inflating their tires? And getting regular tune-ups?  You’d actually save just as much!
When you combine the tire inflation with saying it is just as good as drilling (or not drilling, as he wants), that is then a plan. If Barry wasn’t so enthralled with his own oratory and messianic capabilities, his inability to admit he was wrong (haven’t the left skewered Bush over that?), he would have followed up with “it was just good, practical, solid, real world advice.” But, no. He wants to dig that hole
Energy plan/position. He is not giving advice. Which is disturbing for a man running for President, who thinks we can solve our ever growing energy needs with a tire gauge.
