ADVICE ON ANTIPOLLUTION, HOW TO ECONOMISE ON FUEL AND DRIVING
(continued)
General hints
• Electricity is “fuel”; switch off all
the electrical consumers you do
not really need.
However,
(with safety always in
mind), keep your lights on when
the visibility is bad (“see and be
seen”).
• Try to use the air vents. Driving at
60 mph (100 km/h) with the
windows open will increase the
use of fuel by 4%.
•
For vehicles fitted with air
conditioning
, an increase in fuel
consumption may be noticed in
urban driving. Switch off the
system if it is not needed.
• Never fill the fuel tank right to the
brim to avoid overflow.
• Do not leave an empty roof rack in
position.
• It is better to fit a trailer for bulky
objects.
• When towing a caravan, fit a wind
deflector and adjust it carefully.
• Avoid using the vehicle 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 journeys.
Tyres
•
Inadequate
pressures
may
increase fuel consumption.
• The use of non-recommended
tyres may also increase fuel
consumption.
