Actually the dollar bills work out cheaper by the cost of the automotive patches. You spend the money. I get home, remove, wash if necessary and spend my dollar bills. Need toughness? Use several and run them bead to bead, hooked under to they are locked in place by the tire pressure. (Dollar bills are high quality, strong fabric.)
