Went out and finally bought a tire pressure gauge......I was running my tires (worn winters) under inflated at 30.5-31 psi vs the recommended 35 psi so I bumped them all up to 37 and then filled up. Should get a decent mpg boost from that the ride feels better too.

Pencil gauge? Or dial-type gauge?

Good for your tires! Now, did you scrimp on the price...and buy a pencil style gauge? Didya know these are seldom accurate? Or, give the same no. twice in a row? The dial-type are sooo much better.
