Michelin: 370 Million Litres of Fuel are Being Wasted Each Year!
Some excellent research by tyre maker Michelin has revealed that drivers in the UK are losing out on more than £440million pounds by driving with the under-inflated tyres. An incredible figure.
Our website is all about saving fuel, and we have always said that checking your tyres is one of the easiest ways to make a difference, according to Michelin more than 370 million litres of fuel are being wasted each year due to under inflated tyres, I think this proves our point!
Until October this year a Michelin tyre specialist team are touring the UK and Ireland offering advice and correcting the pressure on peoples tyres. They are also giving away free glovebox guides, so keep your eyes peeled for them!
Here is also a supporting video on what they are doing:
So next time you have a spare minute go and check your pressure, if it’s low get pumping!

I didn’t realize the number was so high. I always keep a tire pressure gauge in every one of my vehicles including my motorcycle.
