How can a tire pressure gauge reduce car costs? Make sure that your car’s tires are properly inflated.
If you live in an area where temperatures rise and fall significantly during the year (which would be anywhere in Canada), your tire pressure can also rise and fall. The more you drive, the more pressure you put on your tires, which will also affect your tire pressure.
Proper tire inflation is important for proper fuel economy. Under-inflated tires can reduce your gas mileage by up to 5%, and it can also cause your tires to wear unevenly, and wear out quicker.
So, to save money by making your tires last longer, and to save on gas, check your tire pressure once per month. You can buy a simple tire pressure gauge to check your tire’s air pressure. If it’s low, fill them up. It’s simple and costs virtually nothing, but can lead to significant long term money savings.
