TPMS: Reduce Your Impact on the Environment

Did you know....
  • The typical American drives an average of 12,000 miles a year. 
  • 20 pounds of CO2 are emitted into the atmosphere per gallon of gasoline consumed
  • The typical passenger car in the United States release over 5 TONS of CO2 into the atmosphere each year
There is no instant fix for the environmental problems we face today. However, solutions do exist to help minimize the amount of damage we do to our planet on a daily basis. The tire pressure monitoring sensor, for example, is a device that serves multiple purposes. 

Tire pressure sensors help notify drivers that the tire pressure in one or more tires is at least 25% below vehicle specifications. The result? An increased awareness regarding low tire pressure and improved road safety due to properly inflated tires. TPMS sensors can be directly responsible for preventing accidents and saving lives. 

How does any of this have to do with reducing our impact on the environment? Improperly inflated tires can reduce your MPG by up 25%. Increased gas consumption results in an increase in CO2 emissions and greenhouse gases. Keeping your tires properly inflated can have a very positive impact on the environment. On top of improving your gas mileage by up to 3.3%, properly inflated tires can reduce your carbon footprint by releasing less carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. Save money at the pump and reduce your carbon footprint. It's a no brainer. 

The amount of driver's in the United States alone is staggering. The environmental impact of one person who properly maintains his/her tire pressure may seem minuscule. What if every driver in the United States properly maintained his/her tire pressure? Just Imagine the impact that would make.
