thanks for all the suggestions. Have had the car about 3 weeks and
have driven about 5k miles.

I checked the pressure after a 30 mile drive, so tires were hot. I
used one of those standard manual pop type pressure gauges. I'll
recheck today while cold.

Web research tells me outside temp. definitely affects pressure, but
seems to me the computer should be smart enough to adjust for outside
temperature differences.
