Lower the environmental impact associated with your car...

The average US SUV emits almost a pound of greenhouse gas into the atmosphere per mile travelled.

Become more energy-efficient with your car!

Increasing energy efficiency with cars is essential for reducing environmental impact and saving on fuel costs. Passenger vehicles account for roughly 16.4% of US greenhouse gas emissions. The average US SUV emits almost a pound of greenhouse gas into the atmosphere per mile travelled. 

Ways to Drive green as you can:

1. Choose Fuel-Efficient Vehicles

When purchasing a new vehicle, consider fuel efficiency. Choose cars with high miles per gallon (MPG) ratings or explore hybrid and electric options.

2. Regular Maintenance

Ensure that your car is well-maintained by following the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule. Regular oil changes, proper tire inflation, and timely tune-ups contribute to better fuel efficiency.

3. Proper Tire Maintenance

Keep tires properly inflated to the recommended pressure. Under-inflated tires can decrease fuel efficiency, while overinflated tires can impact handling.

4. Drive Smoothly

Avoid aggressive driving behaviors such as rapid acceleration and abrupt braking. Smooth driving conserves fuel and reduces wear on your vehicle.

5. Reduce Idling Time

Turn off the engine when parked or waiting for an extended period. Idling consumes fuel and contributes to unnecessary emissions.

6. Combine Trips

Plan and combine errands to minimize the number of trips you take. This reduces the total miles driven and enhances fuel efficiency.

7. Carpooling and Ride-Sharing

Carpooling or participating in ride-sharing programs can reduce the number of individual vehicles on the road, decreasing overall fuel consumption.

8. Use Cruise Control

When driving on highways, use cruise control to maintain a consistent speed. This helps optimize fuel efficiency.

9. Avoid Excessive Speed

Driving at high speeds increases air resistance and fuel consumption. Driving within speed limits can significantly improve fuel efficiency.

10. Remove Excess Weight

Remove unnecessary items from your car, as carrying excess weight can decrease fuel efficiency. Also, remove roof racks or carriers when not in use to reduce aerodynamic drag.

11. Use Air Conditioning Wisely

Use air conditioning sparingly, as it can increase fuel consumption. When driving at lower speeds, consider opening windows for ventilation.

12. Educate Yourself on Hybrid and Electric Vehicles

Learn about hybrid and electric vehicles, which often have higher energy efficiency and lower emissions compared to traditional gasoline-powered cars.
