I'm with
Frank Lee. It's all CYA. If/when asked about this, they 'officially' must come down on all illegal practices or habits that, if taken to an extreme, can be dangerous. But c'mon, it's AAA ... a service for the average, non-thinking motorist. Why would anyone here listen to
them?
However, I'll admit that I do all of the above to some extent. I follow larger vehicles ... but don't tail gate (50+ feet). I will roll through a stop sign at 5-7 mph if it's clear and there's no-one in sight. and I am at just a few pounds less than the sidewall maximums with my tires.
We, hypermilers, are slow and careful drivers in general, as a group. We are causing a lot fewer accidents on the public roads (per mile) than just about any other subdivision of the motoring public.
Hey
MazdaMatt, you also run 2-3 psi less in the rears? I like that ... helps prevent oversteer in emergency maneuvers.
