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?

They're already passed a law that requires vehicles to have automatic tire pressure sensors. Which simply drives up prices for consumers who don't want or care for that functionality.

The entire "tire pressure" issue is bogus. Not that underinflation won't cause reduced mileage, but it is insubstantial in amount and the it is doubtful that many people are riding around with tires unduly low anyway.

The idea that, as Obama claimed, it is going to provide as much savings as the oil that could be extracted by domestic drilling, it is just liberal treehugger nonsense.

This is not unlike Al Gore making claims about melting polar icecaps, etc. -- just made up crap.
