Petrol and diesel owners can boost their fuel economy by a staggering 10 percent by pressing one button found in almost every petrol station in the country.<\/p>\n

According to specialists, road users should keep their tyre pressures at the correct temperature at all times with flat rubber likely to burn more fuel.<\/p>\n

Tyre pressures can be checked and fixed at home or at special air pumps located at petrol stations.<\/p>\n

These are usually located just off to the side of forecourts and can be accessed for as little as 50p or \u00a31.<\/p>\n

Buttons on the machine can be pressed to determine how much air is pumped into each tyre before setting off.<\/p>\n

Vanarama urged road users to fix tyre pressures as a priority to reduce drag and save the pennies. Speaking on a TikTok clip, the motoring experts said: \u201cTyres with low pressure won’t necessarily look flat but if your pressure is low you have a problem.<\/p>\n

\u201cLow pressure means more drag which means more effort to move the car which means more fuel used and if you see this fuel light you need to sort it ASAP.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour tyres will have a recommended pressure which you’ll find on the car itself or by looking up your tyres online.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen it’s as easy as tapping your card or sticking a coin in this machine, setting the pressure you need, pulling your pipe, attacking the end bit and waiting.\u201d<\/p>\n
