I'm thinking about not carrying my spare tyre with me anymore. A lot of new cars don't have them at all.
From what I can tell mine weighs about 18Kg, which is 1.5% of the cars overall weight. So i'd get a 1.5% reduction in the use of petrol?
The last time I had a flat tyre was around 2012, so I've been carrying a wheel for all those years without needing it. I'm in the RAC so they'd tow me to get a new tyre at a garage I guess. Or I could buy a repair kit?
Maybe i could find something useful to do with the spare wheel well. My wife is all for using it for a fridge....
If you dont have a spare wheel what do you use your well for?
