Both types have pros and cons - I've always been under the impression
that the upright types allow a lot of coldness to 'escape' when the

That isn't really true -- at most, one or two pounds of cold air escapes
and
is replaced with warm air. That has almost zero effect on the temperature
inside.


How does non-pressurized air have weight?


The same way anything else has weight. Did you really think that air weighs
nothing?

BTW, there's no such thing as "non-pressurized air". The air you're
breathing
right now has a pressure of 1 atmosphere, equal to about 14.7 pounds per
square inch.


My ATV tires take 3 psi yet they don't collapse! Read up on atmospheric
pressure.

It's 3PSI above atmospheric presure, dumbass.


At sea level, moron?

Tire pressure gauges measure the difference between the pressure inside the
tire and the pressure outside the tire.

Note in particular this sentence: "Psi is often used incorrectly instead of
psig."
