Advantages of Properly Inflated Tires
Green Home, Thinking Green, Video by Danny Lipford
Under inflated tires lose about 0.4% of their fuel efficiency for every pound under their recommended pressure. Proper inflation:
- Increases fuel efficiency
- Reduces pollution emissions
- Makes tires last longer
- Saves money on gas
If every car in the U.S. maintained the proper air pressure in their tires, it would reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 11 billion pounds a year. So break out your tire gauge and check your tires regularly.
