The senders are battery operated so even though you were able to retrain them,
one or more of the senders might have a low battery.

And if it gets folks to keep the tire pressure at the right levels it'll end
up saving upwards of 12% in fuel that's currently being wasted.

Of course, tire pressure in the spare won't affect mileage at all unless it
gets put on the ground. Matter of fact, higher pressure in the spare will
theoretically cost you milage since air does have mass...

Mouse-farts in a hurricane, but why should the tree huggers have all the fun
with miniscule effects?
