Cum poți consuma degeaba combustibil de sute de lei anual. Greșeala banală care îți crește consumul mașinii fără să-ți dai seama • Știri Brașov Biz Brasov

Low tire pressure can significantly increase fuel consumption without drivers realizing it. Many only check tires when visibly flat or when alerted by the dashboard. Under-inflated tires increase rolling resistance, causing the engine to work harder, which leads to higher fuel costs over time. Maintaining proper tire pressure can improve fuel efficiency by about 0.6% on average, and up to 3% in some cases. For example, a diesel car consuming 6.5 liters per 100 km could incur an additional cost of around 263 lei annually due to low tire pressure. Regular checks, especially in colder weather, are essential to avoid unnecessary fuel expenses and ensure tire longevity and safety.
