Business cars with tyres under-inflated by 10psi can use 2.5% more fuel than cars with the correct pressure.
Depending on fuel consumption, the cost could range between L60-L120 a year on wasted fuel.
According to tyre maker Continental, that means an average car driver could produce an extra 250lbs of CO2 a year; equivalent to driving an additional 250 miles.
