Top Ten Driving Tips for Saving Fuel

The Energy Saving Co exists to help you run your business more efficiently. A big part of this is driving. Just about all businesses rely on getting around using the roads and doing this is both a cost and an emitter of carbon. If you want to improve your companies green credentials and save money then implementing a green driving policy is a good step forward.

Not sure what to put in a green driving policy? Read the list – this will help you out with that.

Ensure your tyres are properly inflated – under inflated tyres create road resistance and this burns more fuel.

Drive at the appropriate speed – not only is this safer but engines burn more fuel the faster you drive.

Shut your windows when driving at higher speeds – drag from air rushing in will reduce your mileage.

Running air conditioners increases fuel consumption. Switch them off when not needed.

Buy your Petrol or Diesel at cooler times of the day – it will be denser and less prone to evaporation. More VFM.

Buy your fuel from busy stations where the tanks are regularly refilled as cleaner fuel provides more power.

Remove unused roof racks, accessories, and clutter to reduce weight and drag as this is better for fuel economy.

Switch off when idling if you are likely to be stationary for 3 minutes – save the fuel and turn the engine off.

Have your engine properly tuned – this can improve fuel usage by 40% and return the cost in fuel savings.

Keep vehicles properly maintained – replacing clogged air filters can increase mileages by 10%.
