GROVER BEACH, CA, Sep 02 (MARKET WIRE) --
Responding to recent activity in the 2008 Presidential campaign,
Accessories Marketing, Inc. (AMI) President Jim Cegelski announced today
that the company -- creator and manufacturer of Slime(R) flat tire
prevention and repair products -- will give away 10,000 tire pressure
gauges so Americans can immediately lower gas costs without having to
wait for the end of the election.
"The recent sparring between John McCain, Barack Obama and Paris Hilton
over the merits of proper tire inflation has forced us to take action,"
said Cegelski, whose company distributes the most tire gauges in the U.S.
and knows a thing or two about this critical campaign topic. "We simply
cannot stand idly by and allow the politics of the past to rule the day.
It is time for us to have more than just straight talk about proper tire
pressure -- it is time for us to do something about it," continued
Cegelski.
Citing CarCare.org, Cegelski notes that when tire pressure is properly
maintained, gas consumption is decreased by as much as four percent. "Just
by maintaining proper tire inflation all year, we can save 124 gallons of
gasoline annually for every man, woman and child in America -- that's a
$1,300 savings per household, and change you can count on!" said Cegelski.
"And that trumps the recent tax rebates!"

receive one free tire pressure gauge compliments of AMI. In addition,
Slime is offering a promotional code for consumers to receive not only a
free tire pressure gauge but also 15% off any slime.com order. Be sure to

"According to a recent survey, only one in seven Americans correctly
checks their tire pressure," said Cegelski. "In addition to giving away
these tire gauges, we're going to provide each registrant with ten tips
on how to save money and save lives through proper tire maintenance."
