How Does Tire Pressure Affect Toyota Hilux Fuel Consumption?

Underinflated tires create more rolling resistance, increasing fuel consumption. How often do you check your tire pressure, and what PSI do you keep them at for optimal mileage?

Underinflated tires increase rolling resistance, forcing the engine to burn more fuel.

Optimal Tire Pressure for Hilux:
Front: 30-32 PSI
Rear: 32-35 PSI varies by load

Fuel Economy Impact:
Driving with tires 10% underinflated can reduce fuel efficiency by 2-3%.
Overinflating tires can reduce grip and unevenly wear the tread.

Checking tire pressure once a week improves mileage and extends tire life.
