- Tire pressure changes an average of 1 PSI (pounds per square inch) for every 10 degree F change in air temperature. Tires also deflate naturally over time, as much as 1.5 psi per month. Fuel efficiency is reduced by 1% for every 3 PSI under inflation. (Source: checkmytires.org)
- In 1995 the US Energy Department said that under-inflated tires waste an estimated 4 million gallons of gas daily in America. (Source: pumpmeup.org)
- A vehicle with a recommended pressure of 35 psi whose tires are at 28 psi will have increased its rolling resistance by 12.5%. (Source: US Department of Energy)
