Unrestrained by the sensitivities of campaign season, Barack Obama returned to an energy policy statement that got him in a bit of hyper-partisan heat while on the trail: calling for people to properly inflate their tires.

“Some of you may remember during the campaign, when gas was really high, I suggested that one small step Americans could take would be to keep their tires inflated, remember that?” Obama told the crowd at Newton, Iowa, in a speech celebrating Earth Day. “And everybody teased me. ‘Aw look, that’s Obama energy policy.’ And my opponents started passing out tire gauges. But I’ll tell you what, turns out that saves you an awful lot of gas — and money in your pocket. It also makes sense for our energy use as a whole. If everybody kept their tires inflated, it would have a big dent; it would produce as much oil savings as we might be pumping in some of these offshore sites by drilling.”
