According to the investigated
data, by adopting an eco-driving style, drivers can slash both their fuel bill
and their emissions by as much as 25 % compared with ‘normal-average’ driving
behavior.
Fact is small changes to the way
you drive can have a big impact on fuel economy. People go to extraordinary
lengths to save money but then they jump in their cars and waste fuel. Through
eco-driving they can avoid that.
Poor driving habits can reduce
fuel efficiency of your vehicle. As buyers purchase fuel efficient vehicles in
large numbers to save cost and benefit the environment; however, few know that
good driving habits are the best way to economize.
Let’s go through some simple tips
that can help you be a greener, more fuel efficient driver:
Drive Smoothly
Aggressive driving such as fast
acceleration, speeding and braking can decrease your fuel mileage
significantly. Therefore accelerate smoothly, brake softer and earlier, and
stay in a single lane while it's safe to do so.
Slow Down
Speeding consumes lots of fuel.
By driving 90km/h instead of 100km/h, you can increase your fuel efficiency by
up to 10-15 %. Also, try for a constant speed.
No Idling
Today's automotives don't need a
warm up. Start the car quickly and gently to drive away. Don't leave your car
idling. Extended idling will increase emissions and waste fuel.
Remove Unnecessary Cargo
Reducing the amount of luggage
you keep in your boot or back seat can increase your fuel efficiency as less
energy is needed for acceleration.
Reduce Aerodynamic Drag
Your vehicle is designed for
excellent aerodynamics. If you spend lots of time travelling on the highway or
are planning a long trip, try to carry extra items inside the vehicle or
attached to the rear. Also, by keeping your windows and sunroof closed can
lower wind resistance. You will have less drag and better fuel economy.
Only Use A/C on the Highway
Your fuel economy decreases by up
to 15 % when you utilize the air conditioner at low speeds. So if it isn't too
hot, turn off the air conditioner when driving around town, and roll down your
windows instead. However, at 90km/h or higher, using the air conditioner is
favored compared to open windows.
Use Cruise Control
Initiating your cruise control
keeps you from mindlessly driving faster thereby maintain a constant speed, and
won't use additional fuel while accelerating. Try to set your cruise control at
your vehicle's most fuel-efficient speed, as long as it's at or below the legal
limit.
Combine Trips
Many short trips will use more
fuel than a single, longer trip. So when you have to drive for chores, get as
many completed as you can in one trip to increase your fuel economy.
