If off shore would add about 1% to our consumption in 4 years (if the current levels stay the same) and filling our tires would save us 3% in one year, then yes, by simply keeping your car maintained WOULD save more than any and all off shore drilling. It's not that hard.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It's becoming rather apparent who's looking out for who here: McCain = more drilling, more money for Big Oil.
