    Tire Pressure / MPG'S

    Saw a sign next to tire pressure gauges for sale, saying that if you underinflate by 5 to 7 psi, you will gain 10% better fuel mileage.
    I'm still running the stock 12'' tire, but I usually over inflate to around 38 psi
    because it make the steering a little less of an effort (especially when parallell parking). What says the Festiva Nation?

    That they are idiots!

    Did they have magnets to attach to the fuel line to align the fuel too?

    Higher pressure = better MPG and harsher ride.
    Be careful over inflating.
    I do as well because my tires had nearly full tread at max pressure, but both sides of center were nearly bald.

      Nay, say I, they are uber-idiots! Regular idiots would be insulted to be compared to them.
