11 Tips For Efficient and Safe Driving From Auto Doc Bento
1) Is your vehicle in-tune? A poorly tuned engine can consume an average of 10% more fuel!
2) One equals 20. One poorly tuned vehicle can emit pollutants equivalent to 20 properly tuned cars.
3) Do not let your engine idle. Excessive idling pollutes. Turn off the engine whenever you can.
4) Low tires put pressure on fuel. Properly inflated tires improve fuel performance.
5) 90 Km is optimum driving speed. The best fuel economy for most vehicles is under 90 km/h.
