So now what? Pass a law requiring all gas stations to give mandatory tire inflation checks? Have the "conservation cops" out writing tickets to people driving with underinflated tires?

Obama is simply reminding people that keeping your tires at the right pressure improves fuel efficiency. I have been doing the same with my friends for the past year. You would be surprise how many people, esp women, don't even consider it a problem that effects fuel efficiency.

People have been told to keep their tires properly inflated ever since gas hit $3/gallon. It's quite a pain to check that every month, even for guys like me who know what they're doing.

Major pressure changes occur when weather changes significantly. I check mine a couple of times per season. Plus, if I take my car in for work, I ask the guys at the mechanics to check them.
