I don't give Obama much political credence - he's a frosh congressman, he doesn't bring much in the way of experience to the party and only recently has he started talking in concrete terms beyond just "Hope" and "Change."

But it's a pragmatic statement. Check your tire pressure. Sure, laugh it off, but go check it anyway. We'll wait.

It was HOW far off? Wow. Pumped them up, right? Good. Okay, now drive a few tankfuls. We'll wait.

Hey, went farther between fillups, didn't it? Yeah, thought so.

So, McCain should keep his mockery to himself. It can't be said enough to check tire pressure, because so many people simply don't take it seriously. I'm saying it here, folks: CHECK YOUR TIRE PRESSURE! If a bunch of nutjobs all geeky over fuel mileage keep a religious tab on their tire pressure, then you can be damned sure that having it right makes a difference.

My tire pressure is 44 pounds all around. Checked it this morning.
