Safety, Savings, and Vehicle Longevity
Savings Through Proper Maintenance
- Fuel Efficiency Boost: Incorrect tire pressure significantly impacts MPG (miles per gallon). Maintaining proper inflation can reduce your fuel costs by 3-4% over time, maximizing fuel efficiency and supporting an eco-friendlier drive.
- Preventing Premature Wear: Under-inflated tires wear out faster and unevenly. This necessitates more frequent, costly tire replacements and shortens the overall lifespan of your tires.
- The Cost of Neglect: A single tire costing $120 could have its life shortened dramatically by consistent under-inflation, leading to significant unexpected replacement expenses.. Example: For a $350 tire, just 10% under-inflation can cost over $50 per tire in lost mileage.
Safety and Component Protection
- Reduced Blowout Risk: Severely under-inflated tires pose a serious safety risk, increasing the potential for blowouts at both high and low speeds, which puts you and your passengers at risk.
- TPMS Protection: The delicate sensors within your Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) can fail due to chronic under-inflation. Replacement of these sensors typically costs between $40 and $200 per tire.
- Inspection Value: We offer routine inspection of your valve stems and provide free replacement caps if they are missing, helping prevent air leaks caused by external dust and debris.
The Hidden Value of Mobile Service
- Avoid the Dirtiest Surface: Gas pump handles are statistically one of the most contaminated surfaces in public spaces. Studies have found that these handles harbor high concentrations of germs associated with illness—estimated to be thousands of times dirtier than a public toilet seat.
- Eliminate Crime Risk: Gas stations are common targets for thieves. By using mobile service, you eliminate the risk of theft from unlocked vehicles and the danger of credit card skimming devices often found at compromised fuel pumps.
By helping you address these hidden costs and safety risks, our service provides benefits that can quickly offset the cost—making it a smart investment in your safety, convenience, and vehicle longevity.
Cost of Replacement:
The cost of replacing tires can vary depending on the type and size, but it can be a significant expense.
On a tire that costs $350, 10% underinflation could cost you as much as $56 per tire
Other potential costs:
Under-inflated tires can be more susceptible to damage, potentially leading to costly repairs or replacements.
TPMS Sensor Replacement:
If your tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensors fail due to under-inflation, you’ll need to replace them, which can cost anywhere from $40-200 per tire.
All of the above adds up to an average of $330–$440 per year, making Cassidy Fuel a smart and convenient choice that saves time, supports your safety, and keeps you from ever having to pump gas again.
Other safety considerations for bringing the PUMP TO YOU:
Gas pump handles are considered among the dirtiest surfaces Americans touch.
A study by Kimberly-Clark Professional found that 71% of gas pump handles were “highly contaminated” with germs associated with illness and disease.
Gas pump handles are estimated to be 11,000 times dirtier than a toilet seat.
Theft is the most common type of crime, at gas stations with thieves targeting valuables left in unlocked vehicles or during brief moments when customers are away from their car.
Criminals can use devices to steal credit card information from gas pumps.
