<li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">Your vehicle's fuel economy can improve up to 3.3 percent. Underinflated 
tires lose about 0.4 percent of their fuel efficiency for each one pound drop in 
tire air pressure.<A class="superscript active"

<li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">Using less fuel equals lower carbon dioxide emissions. Conserving just 1 
percent of the fuel used by an average vehicle each year (about 8 gallons of 
gas) would reduce carbon dioxide emissions from that vehicle by over 150 pounds 
per year.</LI>
<li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">It prolongs the life of your tires, which means that fewer raw materials 
need to be consumed to make new replacement tires (each automobile tire contains 
about 2.5 gallons of oil, for example).<A class="superscript active"

jQuery1241271611562="496">[2]</A> Prolonging the life of your tires helps keep 
them out of the waste stream, which minimizes the risk of other environmental 
problems like tire fires.</LI></UL></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/BC9AB634-3959-4A83-AF7D-93F127913190/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
