Gas-Saving Moment

Did you know underinflating tires by 5 pounds can cut your car mileage by as much as 2%? Well, it's true. so what can you do about it? Why, check your owner's manual for the optimum pressure for your tires. Remember, there is a maximum pressure that you should not reach as it might blow up your tires.

A 13 year old girl from Florida learned that the government wanted to drill for oil in the arctic and she loved the gray wolves that lived there, so she and her scout troop convinced Sears,Firestone and Goodyear to donate tire gauges and the troop started passing them out for free. Now others have started making flyers from her website and handing out gauges.

To learn more, go to her group at pumpemup.org
