We all know gas prices are increasing. Due to these circumstances, drivers explore new methods to help preserve fuel at all costs. Though there are many ways to help improve your MPG, many have been asking, "Does my tire's poor state impact my MPG? " The answer is yes. If your tires are anything less than flawless, they can directly relate to poor MPG. Under-inflated tires can cost you considerable money at the pump. The U.S. Department of Energy says that for every PSI missing from your car's set of 4 tires, you lose 0.1 percent of your gas mileage. (Every PSI lost also means that tires wear 10 percent faster.) You can improve your gas mileage by 3.3 percent by ensuring your tires are properly inflated. This means cars getting 30 MPG could see a benefit of about one MPG with properly inflated tires. You can refer to the owner's manual or view the driver's side door jamb to find the correct PSI for your tires. At first glance, this kind of saving seems minimal, but it can amount to considerable savings over time. So be sure to check your tire pressure and visit Route 18 CJDR if you need a replacement!
