Summary


1. DRIVE OFF FROM COLD. Modern cars are designed to move straight away. Warming up the engine just wastes fuel -and actually causes engine wear.

2. CHECK YOUR REVS. When accelerating change up a gear at 2000 - 2500rpm. 3. DRIVE SMOOTHLY. Anticipate road conditions so that you drive smoothly and avoid sharp acceleration and heavy braking. This saves fuel and reduces accident rates. 4. STEP OFF THE ACCELERATOR. When slowing down or driving downhill, remain in gear but take your foot off the accelerator early. This reduces fuel flow to the engine to virtually zero. 5. SLOW DOWN. Driving within the speed limit is safer as well as being the law, and reduces fuel consumption.
