A vehicle is driving with low air pressure in its tyres. How much fuel will it consume?
Preventive and Efficient Driving – Observation and Fuel Saving
When the tires have less pressure than recommended, they create more rolling resistance, which causes the engine to consume more fuel.
Explanation
To ensure a vehicle consumes **less fuel**, it is important that the **tires are properly inflated**. When the inflation pressure is **lower than recommended**, the tire heats up, deforms, and wears out faster. This causes the vehicle to consume **more fuel**.
Additionally, keeping the tires well-inflated is part of regular vehicle maintenance, which also contributes to efficient fuel consumption. Therefore, if a vehicle is driven with low air pressure in the tires, it will consume **more fuel** than if it had normal pressure.
