I was reading TMQ (Gregg Easterbrook), and I was reminded of the important issue of tire pressure. Most drivers do not check this. It's dangerous and causes unnecessary, excess fuel consumption.
Read here on the Car Talk website about how to properly determine your car's recommended tire pressure. Of particular importance is maintaining proper pressure during seasonal changes -
"...if you last had your tire pressure checked in July, when it was 80 degrees outside, and it's now January — and the temperature is minus 20 — your tires may be underinflated by 10 pounds, which is dangerous."
