🌅 Good morning, RootBadger. Sunday brings a fresh reading on how Americans feel about the economy, followed by a quick safety check for the car.
🗞️ Reuters morning read: U.S. consumer sentiment fell to a four-month low in September as households worried that rising inflation would weaken their purchasing power. Reuters reports that the University of Michigan index dropped to 48.1 from 51.7 in August, while expectations for inflation over the next year rose to 4.6% from 4.0%.

🚗 Useful this morning: Before the week starts, check all four tires—and the spare—with a gauge while they are cold, meaning the car has been parked for at least three hours. Use the pressure printed on the driver-side door label or in the owner's manual, not the maximum shown on the tire. NHTSA also recommends a monthly look for cuts, bulges, uneven wear, and shallow tread.
