The results showed that a high number of cars that their tyres pressure were lower than be designed and the percentage of these cars was 46% . This percentage causes an increase in fuel consumption ranged between 1956.881 to 4920.091 m3 , This quantity is very harmful on ecological and economical sides, it caused roaring between 880596450 to 2214040950 Iraqi dinar and caused access in Carbon Dioxide emission ranged between 5117.24 – 12866.03 Ton , Therefore this case must be treated to save ecology and national economy
