Energy and Fuel - Saving Tips (Part 1)

1. After starting the engine, it is best to drive off immediately. Idling causes pollution and excessive fuel consumption.

2. Depress the accelerator gently to drive away and change to a higher gear in time.

3. Do not approach traffic lights at full speed. If it is clear that you will have to stop, begin slowing down well in advance.

4. Driving at high speed (over 50 mph and especially over 60 mph) uses more fuel and causes more pollution.
