Wawa gas stations have tire pressure machines that let you set how much air you want in the tires, so that basically eliminated the need for it, but I have a Craftsman one also from before Wawa's were populated over here.

I'm with you bro... I have an analog pressure gauge I use for my tires when I'm inflating them. Don't listen to these hatters!

I find it convenient to have a gauge in hand when inflating so I can know the pressure without having to do some sort of ritualistic chicken dance to see the dash info display from each corner of the car.

I've saved, literally, tens of seconds by not needing to go back and forth checking the pressure inside the car. You can't get that time back sheeple. Wake up!

I didn't really buy it for my car. Two of our cars don't tell tire pressure.

This too. And it takes the car awhile sometimes to get a new reading.

I'm pretty anal about them all reading the same thing...and then there are those that use dish soap to wash their car.

Ugh, that. Exactly.

I have this, probably unhealthy, um habit? Obsession is probably too strong of a word... Maybe neuroses? With the 4-tire pressure display on my car. I set all four times at the same pressure, within a 10th of a psi or so, using my analog gauge. The dash display was fine for a while but now that it's colder and the morning temp has dropped, I have one tire that is consistently 1 psi lower than the other 3.

It's weird because it bothers me enough that I constantly bring up the display and silently sigh to myself, but doesn't bother me enough to fix it until all four need more air.

So yeah. Cool Story Bro, I know.

Lol, I tried setting all of mine at 35 yesterday, granted that I messed up on the rear of one because the Wawa thing reset itself because I took to long and was stuck at 33, but today when I got in it was reading 36,35,34,33.

Eventually they all went to 35 and the other still at 33.

Kinda OT, but does the MID give information as to when we should preform flushes as well. Such as transmission flush or do we just do it at a certain mileage?

In a manner if speaking, yes.

That's the numeric purtion of the maintenance minder. I.e. #3 is transmission fluid, #5 is coolant.

pro tip #69: buy a small tiny pancake air compressor.
becomes very useful!!

and as temps raise, so does air pressure.. driving to the gas station to put air in your tires, will result in inconsistent results. every time

One of two things:

1) They learn and will never make that mistake again.

or

2) They become alcoholics and you'll never get a beer delivered again.

But the upside to case #2 is that you'll have a drinking buddy who won't get all sappy and emotional and start babbling about how he's been screwing up with his bitch and she won't even sniff his butt anymore.
