Tip of the Day - Practice Eco-Motoring
According to The Commission for Integrated Transport, two simple changes to your driving habits can reduce your fuel consumption by 25%.
- Observe the speed limit. In track tests, a car going 80 miles per hour produced a third more CO2 than a car going 70 miles per hour.
- Turn of the A/C. Air conditioning increases your fuel consumption by 10%. Unfortunately, the wind resistance created by driving with the windows open also increases gas consumption. Your best bet — when you can, turn off the A/C and use outside air to cool your car through the vents.
