Underinflated Tires Could Decrease Fuel Efficiency by 10 Percent

Experts warn that underinflated tires are a common problem affecting vehicles in the UK, leading to a significant decrease in fuel efficiency of up to 10 percent. A recent poll reveals that only a small percentage of motorists regularly check their tire pressures, which is crucial for maintaining optimal fuel consumption. Underinflated tires increase rolling resistance, forcing the engine to work harder and consume more fuel. Motorists are advised to check their tire pressures every couple of weeks and adhere to the recommended levels specified in their vehicle’s handbook.
