Abstract: The current situation of world is very cautious about energy sources. So we need to develop technology for saving or reducing the use of these sources. In this experiment, we have studied the importance of coefficient of friction between TYRE of vehicle and road for fuel economy. By experimentation, it is found that increase in weight of vehicle, increases coefficient of friction, which affects on fuel economy. So, for fulfilling these requirements, we have to reduce the load on vehicle TYRE, resulting in decrease in coefficient of friction, increasing performance of vehicle which will reduce use of fuel.
