Maintaining proper tire pressure and wheel alignment is essential for ensuring optimal fuel efficiency in the Honda City. Underinflated tires increase rolling resistance, making the engine work harder to maintain speed, which reduces fuel economy. On the other hand, overinflated tires can cause uneven tire wear and reduce ride comfort. The recommended tire pressure for the Honda City is typically around 32-34 PSI for the front and rear tires, but it’s best to check the owners manual for the exact specifications. Wheel alignment is also critical misaligned wheels cause the car to pull in one direction, increasing rolling resistance and reducing fuel efficiency. Aligning the wheels regularly can help improve fuel economy and extend the life of your tires.
