POPSSomeone needs a trip to Teleprompter's Are Us and Some Remedial Math
Properly inflating your tires can improve gas mileage by 3%. Let's be generous and assume that one-half of the total possible savings would be realized if we all inflated our tires properly. Americans drive approximately 2,880 billion miles per year. If we average 24 mpg, we use around 120 billion gallons of gasoline in our vehicles. If, through perfect tire inflation, we improved our collective fuel efficiency by 1.5%, that would be 1.8 billion gallons. A barrel of oil produces around 20 gallons of gasoline, so the total savings available through tire inflation is approximately 90,000,000 barrels of oil annually. How does this stack up against "all the oil that they're talking about getting off drilling?" ANWR: 10 billion barrels Outer Continental Shelf: 18 billion barrels Oil shale: 1 trillion barrels So, on the above assumptions, it would take only 11,308 years of proper tire inflation to equal "all the oil that they're talking about getting off drilling."

POPSDouble Your Gas Mileage! 2X 2 oz. of pure Acetone for each 10 gallons of gasoline, in addition to routine maintenance, is a wonderful idea to counter the major oil companies' price gouging. Do you think it's a coincidence that oil companies shut down parts of their plants for "routine maintenance" during the busiest travel season of the year? Let's fight back! As mentioned in the video, Acetone is not harmful to your engine. It promotes clean burning and fuel efficiency, increasing the longevity of your automobile!
