Having the correct tyre pressure results in improved fuel efficiency and reduced CO2 emissions

Under-inflated tyres create more resistance when your car is moving. This means your engine has to work harder, so more fuel is used and more CO2 emissions are produced.

Check and adjust your tyre pressures regularly and also before long journeys. This will also help to increase the life of your tyres.
Under-inflated tyres increase CO2 but over inflated tyres can be unsafe, so check your car manual for the correct tyre pressure. Remember, a car with a heavier load may need different air pressure in the tyres.

The way you drive is not only important for you, your families and others, it also matters to the environment. So check your tyres once a week or whenever you refuel.
