Show answer

Correct answer

  • Cel vehículo consume más combustible.the vehicle uses more fuel.
Explanation

With a pressure lower than recommended, the tyre flexes more and the area in contact with the ground and the rolling resistance increase, so the vehicle uses more fuel. The tyre also wears out sooner and stability gets worse.
