In our time, when everything is becoming more expensive, it is especially important to save money on fuel. Expert “Behind the wheel” Alexander Khlynov shared simple hack.
To make the car roll easily, you need to spur it less. First, check your tire pressure. Inflate the wheels as described in the owner’s manual. There is a table with the pressure in the chambers in the driver’s doorway.
The recommended tire pressure is usually indicated on the fuel flap or on the B-pillar. Sometimes such a sticker can be found in the opening of the front driver’s door.
For example, if 2.4 atmospheres in the rear tires are indicated there with a full luggage compartment, that’s okay. When designing the car, everything was calculated: fuel consumption according to the “passport” was measured at just such a pressure.
When the pressure is lower, rolling resistance increases and fuel consumption increases.
