Edmunds.com is sponsoring a special Earth Day event in Los Angeles, California, and if you're in the area, you should take part! Edmunds.com will be sponsoring free tire pressure checks at twenty-seven different locations in Los Angeles and the Greater Los Angeles location.

I'll bet you don't check your tire pressure very often. I know I don't. And yet, keeping your tires at the proper pressure can save you hundreds of dollars over the course of a year! Low tire pressure causes terrible fuel efficiency in your car, making your car use more gas, and also making your car handle badly. That can be dangerous in bad weather!

Just by making sure your tires are properly inflated, you can save yourself eight hundred dollars a year, or more. Put another way, checking your tire pressure saves you a little over two dollars a day. Two bucks! That's a free coffee every day. Or a burger and fries off the dollar menu at McDonalds. You could buy yourself lunch every day, just by keeping your tires properly inflated.

Get your tire pressure checked for free in Los Angeles, on Earth Day, April 22nd, and get started saving yourself money!
