Check tyre pressure regularly to keep rolling resistance low
Check your tyre pressure regularly to keep rolling resistance, and so fuel use, low.

What you need
- Tyre pressure gauge or a petrol-station air pump
How to do it
- Check your tyre pressure regularly.
- Set it to the value in the owner's manual or on the sticker inside the fuel flap.
- Adjust the pressure when you load extra weight.
Why it works
With too little pressure, rolling resistance goes up, and anything with high resistance takes more energy.
