<VV> was gauge - now TPMS

[J R Read]

There is a Firestone store directly across the street from the Advance Auto 
Parts where I work part time.  I'm over there frequently to deliver parts.

Once the cold weather arrived, I constantly see cars pull in to have the 
techs add air - Boyle's Law at work.  I strongly suspect that most of those 
folks are seeing a light on the dash and would otherwise never had thought 
to add air in cold months.  So, is this a good thing?  While it may be a 
PITA, there is no telling how many lives and injuries are being prevented by 
these devices.  Well, maybe someone is tracking the statistics but I don't 
know who.

Later, JR
