Dealers and tire pressure

[TM]

Andrew,
What is the recommended pressure on your gas tank flap?
The dealership was only doing its job in setting your tire
pressures to the recommended values.

After reading the recent thread on tire pressures (and how some
listers were "surprised" that their dealers lowered their tire
pressure during a maintenance), I reflected on how poorly I
thought my car/tires were handling after my last dealer maintenance.

So, I finally dusted off my trusty tire pressure gauge last night.
Lo and behold, all 4 tires read a paltry 32 PSI, instead of the usual
robust 40 PSI I always run. Stopped at a local station that has free
air on the way home. 8 pounds later, my girl has the spring in her step
back. And I have another "caution" to warn my dealer about next time.

Get out those gauges, folks!
