Tire inflation
I never really thought about how much of a difference equally inflated tires makes. My right front keeps up about 45 psi, whereas my left front will very slowly leak to thirty and stay there. I blew up the right and my tach went from just over 2000 to about 1925-1950 at 70mph. That should help out the mpg a little.

Well, I don't know how accurate my gauge on my hose is. The right front hasn't been touched airwise since the last time it was at the dealership, so it is still set where they did. A few weeks ago I let a friend use my inflator and he noted my gauge read higher than his handheld digital thing.

I don't have stock size wheels. Does that make a difference in PSI?
