ADVICE ON ANTI-POLLUTION AND HOW TO ECONOMISE ON FUEL, DRIVING
(continued)
General hints
• Electricity is “fuel”; switch off all
the electrical components which
are not really needed.
However, keep the lights on
when visibility is poor.
• U se the air vents instead. Driving
with the windows open will
increase fuel consumption by 4%
at a speed of 60 mph (100 km/h).
• For vehicles fitted with air
conditioning, this increases fuel
consumption, especially in urban
driving; sw itch off the system
when it is not needed.
• Avoid filling to the brim with fuel
at the filling station, to prevent
any overflow.
• Do not leave an empty roof rack in
position.
• It is better to fit a trailer for bulky
objects.
• When towing a caravan, fit a wind
deflector and adjust it carefully.
• Avoid using the vehicle for
door-to-door journeys (short
journeys, with long stops
in-between) because in these
conditions, the engine never
reaches it ideal temperature. Try
to group your journeys.
Tyres
Increased fuel consumption could
be the result of:
• insufficient pressure,
• using non-recommended tyres.
