you guys are crazy taking out your spares. Something that is out of sight, and its not even that heavy.

ha.... open trunk..., pull up carpet, look in.

then take out your tire pressure guage and air compressor, cuz I guarentee its way low
Wait; I have those things too? hah.

I went and bought a tire pressure gauge when my 'stang yelled at me for low tire pressure, then proceeded to pay like $3.00 at the gas station to be able to get air into my tires. lol; it was all already in my stang? D'OH!!!

Wait...you had to pay to use an air compressor? What a rip off! It's not like air for your tire is a rare item. Boooooo on that gas station.

I can't find a gas station that doesn't charge around here.. Most of them are 75 cents... Most also give you the 75 cents to put in it if you just filled up and ask them for air....

some here do that too...

here is a thought

since gas is so high
ask about air every time you fill up
see how many times/places you can get change for the compressor
then pocket the changetry to offset the gouging a little

Guess I'm spoiled. There's a gas station a mile down the road with an air compressor. Not only is it free....but you set what PSI you want in the tires and just hook it up. It automatically fills it to that PSI for ya. No need to play the games of fill and check and fill and check.
