Adapting simple, eco-friendly driving methods can reduce fuel consumption by up to 15% and reduce wear and tear on your automobile. Take this quiz to test your knowledge of ‘green’ driving and then practice these tips on the road.
Question 1 from 12
Shifting gears at a lower RPM reduces the workload of the engine and drastically increases fuel efficiency.
Question 2 from 12
Low tire pressure not only increases fuel consumption, it poses a major safety risk
Question 3 from 12
Starting from a full stop requires extra power. Leave space between you and cars in front of you and decelerate gradually. For this reason, avoiding times of heavy traffic whenever possible can help save on fuel costs.
Question 4 from 12
At speeds above 80 km/hr, open windows produce drag that reduces fuel efficiency. On the other hand, at low speeds, windows are a preferable choice to power-consuming air conditioners.
Question 5 from 12
Regular maintenance, like wheel alignments, can make your car run more efficiently and perform better.
Question 6 from 12
Rapid acceleration requires extra power from the engine and consumes extra fuel. Always try to maintain a steady speed and avoid quick accelerations and decelerations.
Question 7 from 12
A car travelling at 120 km/hr burns approximately 25% more fuel than a car travelling 100 km/hr.
Question 8 from 12
Idling cars consume fuel. If safe, a vehicle parked for more than 2 minutes can be switched off to preserve fuel.
Question 9 from 12
Warming up a car only expends additional fuel.
Question 10 from 12
Larger tires produce more friction and require further power by the engine. Many tire manufacturers today produce tires specially designed to improve fuel consumption.
Question 11 from 12
Keeping the heat down in your car reduces fuel evaporation.
Question 12 from 12
Any additional weight you add to your car will have a negative effect on its fuel efficiency. Items in external roof racks will also reduce the car’s aerodynamics, additionally reducing fuel efficiency.
