How about injuries saved. How about the number of accidents avoided... Most of the people i know never check their tire pressure. I see cars with dangerously low inflated tires. these cars will usually run a flat tire or blow out on the road. they will wear out a tire in no time (expense avoided by proper tire pressure). these people if they get a blow out on the road may not be in a fatal accident but could result in a car pile up. it appears a monitor is worth the addition to new cars however i would like to see it at manufacture cost, the $50. to $70, not being marked up to $250. The report should have taken exception to additional safety items being excessively marked up by car companies.
