Vastly improved fuel economy...
Tyre & Economy Facts
- Motoring safety authorities estimate that 25% of Australian vehicles are running on underinflated tyres and over 40% have not checked them in the last 6 months.
- Properly inflated tyres run cooler, last longer, and improve fuel economy.
- There is a 1% reduction in fuel economy for every 3 PSI (pounds per square inch) under inflation (checkmytires.org).
- Properly inflated tyres translate to a free tank of petrol every year.
- A vehicle whose tires are 7 PSI below the recommened level will have increased its rolling resistance by 12.5%. (Source: Department of Energy)
- Changes in the weather affect tyre pressure - Tyre pressure changes an average of 1 PSI (pounds per square inch) for every 5°C change in air temperature (checkmytires.org).
- The US Energy Department stated that under-inflated tyres wasted an estimated 15 million litres of petrol every day in America in 1995. (Source: pumpmeup.org)
