What's invisible, absolutely free, is everywhere and can save you up to $100 in fuel every year? It's air. These cars are identical, but this one has less air in the tyres. In a random check of 100 cars, half had underinflated tyres, so the engine is having to work a lot harder to move the car, which uses 4% more fuel... and... it's not safe. With correctly inflated tyres, handling's improved, it's safer, and it's using less fuel. You could save around one tank of fuel a year. To find the correct pressure for your car, look here, check the manual or use our tyre pressure tool. Here's a tip ` check your tyre pressure every month and before long journeys. If we all used the correct tyre pressure, NZ would save enough fuel to fill 1500 of these.
