Panic stops do not happen to those that pay attention on the road and plan ahead. This holds true even if your fellow drivers fail to do so. On the few occasions that I have needed to brake any harder than usual I experienced no difficulty whatsoever at 60 PSI.
As for deer, yes, I run into them on the roads here, too. Also coyotes, quail, rabbits and the occasional black bear. I have never had difficulty avoiding them. All, There simply is no room in fuel economy discussions for alarmism or "doomism". Please stop with the venom and rhetoric or I will have this thread locked.

It's winter now. People drives like idiots in a hurry. Road conditions won't be that great in many areas due to the weather and road treatment (lots of sand on the ground here) Safety is more important than fuel economy, especially in a small car that already gets 40 mpg anyway ![]() Call up the auto makers with the revolutionary idea of running double the psi, tell them the easy way to increase the fuel economy numbers by 20% ...I'll expect them to slap their foreheads and turn their tires into 60psi basketballs soon as they hang up the phone...NOT!
