Keep Those Tires Inflated

With gas prices and pollution on the rise it just makes sense to do everything you can to make your driving less costly to the environment and to your pocket book. One of the most significant drains on gas mileage is under inflated tires. A tire which is only 20% under inflated can increase fuel consumption by over 10%. This can easily cost you about 3 miles per gallon and reduce your tires tread life. So, if you do not already have one, go and buy a pressure gauge (less than $1) and check your tires pressure every week when the tires are cold. Filling a tire is a very simple procedure that anyone can do and it will save a lot of money and reduce your toxic emissions.
