    EXT: Tire pressure

    Tools needed:
    Pressurized air
    Pressure gauge

    Each tire must be set to 32 psi. The pressure must be set when cold. I.E. before driving for the day.
    Remove valve stem cover and check the pressure.
    Add or remove to achieve correct pressure (32).
    Repeat for all 4 tires.
    Make sure to put the caps back on.

    Enjoy your improved gas mileage

    27.5 MPG, no AC, cruising at 90 with occasional gridlock. 40 degrees Fahrenheit

    There's also different settings for 5 people and luggage in the car, and for a trailer.

    I can't remember them off the top of my head, But I'll edit this post tomorrow and add them in.

    A "Finished" project car is never finished until its been sold.

    If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.

      I can definitely feel a difference when my car is full.

        Depending what tire pressure your tires are rated at. Eample- 35, 44, 51 psi ECT.... I always subtract a few psi like you said 32 psi for 35 psi rating.

            should add

            never add air to your tires after driving for more than an hour, the measurements should be taken with a cold tire

              I know the standard pressures are, but I didn't notice the pressures for a trailer and a full cabin.
