Senator Obama is receiving flak for his statement, “But you could save all that oil that their talking about getting off drilling if everybody was just inflating their tires, and get regular tune ups you could save actually just as much.” While the Obama camp is promoting the fact that most people agree that tire inflation and tune ups help increase fuel efficiency; they conveniently ignore the inaccurate part of the statement. No one thinks tire inflation and tune ups provide a gasoline savings comparable to the amount of oil off-shore drilling would provide.

Again, the Obama folks are having difficulty taking some ribbing, but it’s Senator Obama’s own statements and inability to clearly state an energy policy that has lead to the criticism.
