correct tire pressure: the most underrated performance mod u can do

Hi my name is Ghost-Flame and I don't check my tire pressure enough.

Now that's that said, I admit to not checking tire pressure since August.

frnot tires 26 and 24, rear 28 and 26

I pumped them up to 30 front and 32 back.

I just took it for a ride and the steering felt much less "heavy". It was ever so quiet-er. It felt crisper when I stepped on the gas, also.

I watched the computer over a 20 mile ride and it was ticking up by fractions.

I'm leaving for a 400 mile trip in about 30 minutes and I will post my mpg. I'll drive it like I always do. I have not been able to exceed 17.5 mpg on a hiway trip lately.

I will post the results later tonight.

*Drop what you are currently doing and go check your tire pressure for you guys in Europe go check your TYRES. Okay?


PS.my daughters car was 10lbs below correct psi my wife's were better only about 4 lbs below correct. the 3 of us are going to save some gas today... Take that IRAQ!!
