How does tire pressure impact the fuel economy of a Honda City?

Underinflated tires create more rolling resistance, causing the engine to work harder and burn more fuel. What is the recommended tire pressure for different Honda City models, and how often should owners check their tire pressure for optimal fuel efficiency?

Tire pressure plays a significant role in fuel economy. When tire pressure is too low, tires experience higher rolling resistance, which makes the engine work harder to move the vehicle, leading to increased fuel consumption. Maintaining the correct tire pressure ensures optimal fuel efficiency. The recommended tire pressure for most Honda City models typically ranges between 30 to 35 PSI, depending on the model. It’s important to check tire pressure regularly, particularly before long trips, to ensure the tires are inflated to the proper level. Regular checks and adjustments can help optimize fuel economy and prolong tire life.
