MPG Tip: Checking Tire Pressure
You probably know that under-inflated tires waste gas. But did you know that by keeping your tires properly inflated, not only will you avoid a loss of fuel economy, your vehicle will also benefit from better handling and more even tire wear.
If you’ve ever had to replace tires early, due to excessive wear on the edges of the tread, there’s a good chance you’re an under-inflater.
Checking your tire pressure isn’t tough, once you learn the ropes. All it takes is a trusty gauge, five minutes, and an air hose.
