Christian – tyres Northwich writes: With fuel prices going through the roof it is a good idea to pay attention to your tyres, because they could help you to save pounds at the pumps.

By making sure your tyres are properly inflated to the correct level it will make your car more fuel efficient because under-inflated tyres have lower rolling resistance and need more energy to make them turn – hence more fuel is needed.

Studies actually show that when tyres are under-inflated by just 20% (that’s around 6psi), three per cent more fuel is used and it has been estimated that in the UK as much as £337 million of fuel is wasted each year as a result of driving on under-inflated tyres.

And there are other significant advantages to having properly inflated tyres – they will last longer, be less prone to dangerous blowouts and reduce your CO2 emissions.

Checking your tyre pressure is a quick and easy job and should be done at least once a month or before a long journey.

You can find the correct pressure for your vehicle in the driver’s handbook, inside the fuel filler cap or on a plate on the driver’s door sill.
