INCENTIVE-BASED METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REDUCING VEHICLE FUEL CONSUMPTION
First Claim
1. A computer-controlled tire pressure control system for reducing fuel consumption of a vehicle over a time period, the system comprising:
- a) an air pump system comprising an air pump unit adapted to fill at least two tires concomitantly of said vehicle;
b) at least one double ended conduit in fluid connection with said air pump unit;
c) a frame for supporting the at least one double ended lead conduit around the vehicle; and
d) a computer in communication with said air pump unit and said vehicle for providing a user of said vehicle with real-time tire data of said vehicle over said time period.
