aha that donut tire, i forgot about that! when i checked mine it was at 50 psi, so i pumped it back to 60 and it lasted me in a week of driving! I put at least 300 miles on the donut in pure city driving and lets just say I got away with it dispite the odds agaist me and those telling me that its dangerous to continue driving on your spare

but hey then again my driving style is extremely radical than anyone I've known the only ones that drive like me are the ones that are online after all I did learned it from somewhere. hehe

although everytime i touch the other tires they are cool, but the donut is a bit warm :O so it is going through a lot of stress indeed.

.

i got around 20 km a liter when i drove a civic 5 spd using advanced hypermiler techniques
and now I drive a salvage nwh20 prius that gets almost to 25 km/l with 192,000 km to date.
