Drive Greener, Drive Smarter, Save Money

If you have a petrol and diesel car, did you know that simple changes in your driving habits can make a big difference to the environment?

By adopting a more eco-conscious approach to driving, you can reduce your fuel consumption, save money, and contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable Warwickshire.

Here are some easy tips to get you started:

Master the Smooth Ride

Anticipate the road: Look ahead and adjust your speed gradually to avoid harsh braking and acceleration, which guzzle fuel.

Maintain a safe distance: Leave ample space between you and the car in front. This allows for smoother deceleration without slamming on the brakes.

Engine braking: When slowing down, ease off the accelerator and let your engine slow the car naturally. This saves fuel while maintaining control.

Speed Matters

Slower and steady: Higher speeds mean more energy  burnt, especially for electric vehicles.

Ditch the drag: Roof racks, boxes, and bars increase wind resistance and fuel consumption, especially at highway speeds. Remove them when not in use.

Open Up for Efficiency

Natural breeze vs. AC: During moderate weather, opening the windows is more fuel-efficient than cranking up the air conditioning.

Smart AC use: Air conditioning is sometimes necessary. If you do use it, keep it set at a moderate temperature and turn it off periodically when possible.

Eco-Efficiency for Safety

Fuel efficiency = Safety: A car that uses less fuel is less likely to break down, preventing dangerous situations on busy roads.

Bonus benefits: Eco-conscious driving goes hand-in-hand with smoother traffic flow, reduced stress levels, and a more comfortable ride for everyone.

By following these simple tips, you can make your driving greener and contribute to a more sustainable Warwickshire.
