While your point is ok, your sums are still off :-)
2% fuel economy improvement on 10p/mile is 0.2p, not 2p. So the saving is 0.13p/mile.

D'oh.
Still, every little helps, right...?
Why don't tyres come pre-loaded with air? Then there'd be no chance of a mistake.

They do, but the makers are so stingy it isn't enough
They used to put the full amount in but over the years they found inflation has reduced their profit.

Just make the tyres out of solid rubber. That can't leak.
Then you want the "tweel"
You can get puncture proof bike tyres made out of a pressurised rubber foam. They're heavier and have a greater rolling resistance than conventional tyres, but can be worth it for some people.

How will rigidity affect the wheel rims? If they are low profile, aluminium wheels I would go for the higher value. If you have potholes in your area, that could save a lot of money.
If the manufacturer recommends it, it isn't over inflated.
