MICHELIN REVEALS UK DRIVERS WASTE £337 MILLION ON FUEL |
|
 UK motorists are wasting £337 million pounds on fuel every year by driving with under-inflated tyres according to new research* by Michelin following its 2011 Fill Up With Air campaign.
The Michelin Fill Up With Air roadshow, which has been touring the UK since May highlighting the importance of keeping tyres inflated to the correct pressure, has revealed that a shocking 39 per cent of motorists are driving on dangerous or very dangerously under- inflated tyres**, whilst 5 per cent are running around on punctured tyres.
As a result drivers are using an extra 244 million litres of fuel and emitting more than 600,000 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere. And this is in addition to an increase in braking distances, poor handling characteristics and reduced tyre life.
