How does tire pressure affect a car's fuel efficiency in a Subaru?
Under inflated tires will affect any car's performance and thus be a safety hazard as well as a cost to the owner in the way of lower fuel mileage and additional wear on the tires. The fuel mileage on under inflated tires I would say is about 1-5mpg reduction. However, that's not the biggest concern. On an AWD vehicle you want all tires to have the same amount of wear as well as proper inflation to prevent any damage to the differential and computer. Driving short distances with under inflated tires wont hurt the vehicle but it would not be something I would recommend long term.
