"There is no energy crisis. Just inflate your tires and the entire problem goes away, we can stop relying on imported oil." Ah, yes. With your team the old straw guys rear their heads sooner or later... He has a point. That is something that should be pushed. Granted, you elitist with your fancy cars don't need it, but the average guy in the street does. And I personally don't have a problem with offshore drilling. But I think the states should decide.

No, 5 pounds gets you to 10% reduction in gas mileage. Okay, then Obama's right. There is no energy crisis. Just inflate your tires and the entire problem goes away, we can stop relying on imported oil. The truth is its the best we have right now to provide an immediate impact on oil prices. OCS drilling won't happen for at least another 3 years......so there will be nothing that can offset the demand side of the equation other than to come up with ways to conserve. Keeping your tires at the right pressure point is one way of doing that.
