Jon – tyres Watford writes: With fuel prices reaching such heights, here is a useful tip to help you save a bit of money at the pumps – make sure your tyres are properly inflated.

If your tyres have got the right amount of pressure it will make your vehicle much more fuel efficient, this is because under-inflated tyres have lower rolling resistance, which means more energy is needed to make them turn.

According to tests, tyres which are under-inflated by just 20 per cent (around 6psi), use up to 3 per cent more fuel.

It has been estimated that in the UK alone as much as £337 million of fuel is wasted every year as a result of driving on under-inflated tyres.

Another advantage to having properly inflated tyres is that they reduce the risk of experiencing dangerous blow-outs and they also extend the life of a tyre and reduce CO2 emissions – so what are you waiting for?  Go and check your tyre pressure!
