Is Obama right?

Posted by: Jessica Palanjian on Wednesday, August 06, 2008

As you may have heard, there is a lot of controversy over Obama's statement regarding conserving energy as it relates to tire pressure.

So we asked the question, "Does maintaining proper tire pressure mean better gas mileage?"  Well, according to Time Magazine the answer is yes!  "...efficiency experts say that keeping tires inflated can improve gas mileage 3%, and regular maintenance can add another 4%." 

So, that being said, we here at Grand Prix Performance recommend that in order to maximize fuel and vehicle efficiency, our customers follow a regular tire and vehicle maintenance schedule.  It's easy!  We promise!  And you make it happen by doing simple things like:
 
Rotating your tires regularly (which we do free for our customers)
Checking your tire pressure frequently (we can help you with that, just remember to do it when the tires are cold)
Getting oil changes when needed
And overall just staying on top of your vehicle's maintenance needs (when the check engine light comes on, it's time to check the engine)

By following these easy-to-do suggestions, you can ensure that your vehicle is running in the most efficient way.  We want our customers to get the best value for their hard-earned dollars.  If you maintain your tires properly, your tires will wear more evenly and therefore last longer.  What that translates to is more bang for your buck!  You are also helping to generate less waste (even though we recycle tires), and you are using less energy as you are using less gas when your tires are in good shape.  So, you can essentially save yourself some money and help the environment while you're at it!  Now, that's an easy way to be green, isn't it?
