Default Tire pressure makes a difference!

I've noticed that every time my MPG drops to the 40-42 range, I find that I'm also driving on tires that are almost flat.

I refilled the tires and the MPG jumped back up to 46.5 (normal for my terrain, driving style, and available gasoline formula).

So... Is it *normal* for the tires on an HCH to go flat every 3-4 weeks, or do I have a bum set of tires?

.

Hope is like a candle held against the night.
