hi, does a car losing tire pressure at a rate of a 1/2 pound a week sound feasible?? if not?? what is the norm??

I dont think tires are supposed to lose pressure at all.

Just a little loss due to temperature change. You have a leak.

you may have a poor seal at the bead. My fix for this is to put about 35psi in the tire (avoided long drives while like this) and run it for about a week, release some pressure after the week and usually the beads seals itself.
