ADVICE ON ANTIPOLLUTION, FUEL ECONOMY AND DRIVING
(continued)
– In vehicles fitted with air condi-
tioning , it is normal to observe an
increase in fuel consumption (es-
pecially in city conditions) when it is
used. For vehicles fitted with manual
air conditioning, switch off the system
when it is not required.
Some advice for reducing fuel
consumption and therefore help-
ing to protect the environment:
– It is advisable to drive with the air
vents open and the windows closed.
– If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few mo-
ments to let the hot air escape before
starting the engine.
– Never fill the fuel tank to the brim to
avoid overflow.
– Do not leave an empty roof rack
fitted to the vehicle.
– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob-
jects.
– When towing a caravan, fit a wind
deflector and adjust it carefully.
Advice on use
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the
electrical components which are not
really needed.
However (safety first), keep your
lights on when the visibility is bad
(“see and be seen”).
– Use the air vents. Driving with the
windows open will increase fuel
consumption by 4% at a speed of
60 mph (100 km/h).
– Avoid using the vehicle for door-to-
door journeys (short journeys, with
long stops in-between) because in
these conditions, the engine never
reaches its ideal temperature.
Tyres
Increased fuel consumption could be
the result of:
– insufficient pressure,
– using non-recommended tyres.
