Save money and cut fuel consumption with a digital tyre inflator

You may wonder why a digital tyre inflator is a green gadget – and the answer might surprise you! Driving is a huge source of greenhouse gas emissions but unfortunately for many people it’s a necessity. While we should all be cutting back on car use where we can – most of us could easily walk to the shops if we had to – those for whom a car is simply essential to getting around can still make changes that reduce their fuel consumption and therefore make their driving habits more eco-friendly. One of these changes is simply to keep your tyres correctly inflated: some sources estimate that up to 50% of cars have under inflated tyres, which increases the rate of wear (and therefore means you have to spend money replacing them more often) and decreases fuel efficiency. This digital tyre inflator is super easy to use: you simply pre-programme it to the desired pressure, plug it into your cigarette lighter and it will switch off automatically when the tyres reach that pressure. The inflator comes with an LED worklight so you can always see what you are doing, and it’s small enough to store easily in your boot. So you should check your tyres are correctly inflated every couple of weeks and use the inflator to correct any under-inflation. By keeping your tyres inflated to the correct pressure, you will increase their longevity and your fuel efficiency, which will both save you money and reduce your carbon emissions. We can’t all stop driving – but we can all take small steps to reduce the impact that driving has on the planet, and the digital tyre inflator will help you do that.
