That’s true. Sometimes the tires may look fine but they can be 5 psi under pressure or even more so it’s a good idea to check every time you get an oil change or fill up the tank.
The thing I like about PTLG is the small, easy pieces of advice that everyone can do to live more green. You don’t have to go out and buy solar panels to live greener.
That said, having air pressure in your tires is definitely something that’s overlooked. Not only in cars, but in bikes too! I know it doesn’t have an effect on the environment, but maybe with the extra time you save having properly inflated bike tires, you can inflate your car tires 😉
Great advice! Personally in my opinion, if you drive long enough.. and are really in tune with your car you will definitely feel the difference on the highway with higher tire temps. A great way to test it… is this… get on your Bicycle and ride with lower tire pressure, and then go on your Bicycle with higher tire pressures, you will definitely feel the difference, especially on Newer pavement. You will find that the higher and properly inflated tires feels so much better!
This is essential. I can literally see my petrol guage flying down when my tires are low.
Another great tip is to always drive with the windows closed- weather permitting of course!
