ADVICE ON ANTIPOLLUTION AND HOW TO ECONOMISE ON FUEL, DRIVING
(continued)
General hints
• Electricity is a “fuel”, so switch
off all electrical equipment which
is not required.
However (with safety always in
mind), keep your lights on when
the visibility is bad (see and be
seen).
• Use the air vents at moderate
speeds. Driving with the
windows open will increase fuel
consumption by 4%.
• For vehicles with air
conditioning , the extra fuel
consumed in the urban cycle can
be as much as 2 litres per 100 km:
switch the system off when it is
not needed.
• Never fill the fuel tank right to the
brim as this is wasteful.
• Do not leave an empty roof rack in
position.
• It is better to fit a trailer for bulky
objects.
• Avoid using the car for
door-to-door calls (short journeys
with long waits in between)
because the engine never reaches
its normal operating temperature.
Try to group your calls.
