All this talk about underinflated tires. Sure, they'll help with a very slight reduction in oil consumption.

However, how much will the country save.........as a whole........if we did wholesale brain transplants on the entire $hitbox driving population so that they could grasp the concept that a brake pedal is really a piss pedal. Every time you step on it, you piss fuel out the window.

A simple change in driving habits would result in enormous conservation of fuel........to the tune of 10% I would hazard a guess...........far more than any tire inflation program could give you.

Unfortunately, the cost of the brain transplant might offset the fuel savings...........
