Eco-Friendly Driving Quiz

Shifting gears at a lower RPM reduces the workload of the engine and drastically increases fuel efficiency.

Low tire pressure not only increases fuel consumption, it poses a major safety risk

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.

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.

Regular maintenance, like wheel alignments, can make your car run more efficiently and perform better.

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.

A car travelling at 120 km/hr burns approximately 25% more fuel than a car travelling 100 km/hr.

Idling cars consume fuel. If safe, a vehicle parked for more than 2 minutes can be switched off to preserve fuel.

Warming up a car only expends additional fuel.

Larger tires produce more friction and require further power by the engine. Many tire manufacturers today produce tires specially designed to improve fuel consumption.

Keeping the heat down in your car reduces fuel evaporation.

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.
