Do you have a car but wish you could save money as well minimise its impact on the planet at the same time?

Adopt a clean driving and you could reduce your fuel consumption by around 30% - which will only SAVE you money!

What is driving clean or Green Driving?

It’s taking care of your vehicle by using good tyres - inflated to the correct pressure, avoiding useless accessories that make the vehicle heavier and removing roof racks when not is use to reduce wind resistance. Did you know that for very 6psi a tyre is under-inflated you fuel consumption increases by 1%?

It’s also about maintaining your car as a properly serviced and maintained vehicle will minimise green house gasses and emissions as well as help prevent expensive repairs. And also, having a relaxed way of driving, maintaining a regular speed and restricting both useless breaking and rapid acceleration. In other words take it easy on the accelerator - more revs means more petrol and more dollars. There's no need to idle - if your stopped for more than 3 minutes, turn the engine off and start again when required - its like throwing money away! And why not combine a clean driving with car sharing?

To find out more about how to make your vehicle greener check out our great articles: Driving Peace of Mind and Driving Down Costs.
