David, > They're already passed a law that requires vehicles to have automatic tire pressure sensors.

That's fine, since I consider that to be a safety issue.

However, those things don't account for minor underinflation of, say, 5 PSI. Given that tire pressure changes by that much and more simply due to increased tire temperature from normal driving, the sensors right now allow for plenty of leeway.

> 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.

It might also be a sign of things to come.

Next up: the return of the 55 MPH speed limit. Which Obama will not admit to supporting until he's in office.
