What is the correct tire pressure for a 1993 Honda Civic?
Have the correct tire pressure on a vehicle is important in help fuel economy, traction, and stopping distance. The correct tire pressure for a 1993 Honda Civic is 32 psi.
What techniques to increase fuel economy?
Proper tire pressure, idle less, accelerate easy, drive at a slower speed.
Does tire pressure effect gas mileage?
Yes, definitely. Lower tire pressure increases rolling resistance and hinders fuel economy. Deflate your bike tire by a fair percentage say 50 and drive around, it isn't easy.
Why do truck drivers keep an eye out on there tires and air pressure for long trips?
Improper pressure can cause tire failure and lower fuel economy. One is a hazard and both cost money.
Does not having o2 sensors in your tires affect gas mileage even if the tire is inflated properly?
Tires do not have oxygen sensors. They can have pressure sensors. The lack of pressure sensors would have no affect on fuel economy.
What to check on a 2000 dodge ram 1500 for poor fuel economy?
Check engine light codes, air filter, spark plugs, tire pressure, catalytic converter ,
How much money can you save by inflating your tires properly?
Fuel economy is decreased by underinflated tires as well as the tire life is decreased. So you could probably see a savings of 5-10% in some cases @ 35 psi on fuel economy and save yourself the price of a set of 4 tires. Fuel economy is also affected by your driving style. Speeding, fast starts/fast stops and general nasty driving habits will kill your fuel economy really fast. Slower & steady with easier take offs from the stops will increase fuel economy.
Do 22 inch wheels affect the performance and fuel economy on a 07 charger?
The size of the wheel itself does not affect performance or fuel economy, but the height of the tire does. A taller tire will decrease performance, but increase fuel economy. A taller tire would have a larger circumference, and therefore decrease the engine speed (RPM's) leading to the improved economy. On the other hand, a taller tire also acts to reduce the car's ability to accelerate (like changing the gear ratio). Also, the speedometer won't be accurate any more.
What is the pressure needed on valve on 1996 ford escort?

What is the tire pressure 2000 Chevy Lumina?
tire pressure usually doesn't depend on the vehicle, but rather the tire itself. most tires are more fuel efficient when set around 35-40 psi.
Does under inflating tires increase fuel economy?
Over inflating tires can slightly increase gas mileage by creating less roll resistence (less tire touching the road). However, there are several downsides. Decreased traction means worse braking and handling, especially on wet pavement. Also, increased air pressure will cause premature and uneven tire wear in the middle of the tire.
