I doubt it's a slow leak if all 4 tires are reading "low"....

My car's been sitting in a fairly warm garage so I can rule out the outside temperature.

The tire shop has a digital air pump, I saw the tech put in 37 PSI on the screen. (Super High Tech Air pump Machine), to compensate for heat.

Maybe the computer is wrong?

The first time my tires needed air, the tire pressure light went off. I checked it with my gauge and it was at about 28PSI (Can't recall exactly).

My tire shop said my tires were at 29/30 PSI (because I drove it), so I guess I can say my gauge is pretty close to accurate. I probably should of checked their after work to see if it was really at 35 PSI, but the light went off so I just disregarded it.

Today it was at 28 PSI too, but no light.... Air Gremlins
