How To Boost Your Fuel Efficiency : We're regularly being reminded of the impact our lifestyle have on the environment. Being environmentally-friendly can also wind up saving you money.
Step 1: Improve your fuel economy, lower your CO2 emissions
1.提高燃料利用率,減少二氧化碳排放量。
There are a number of things you can do to make sure you're getting the highest number of miles out of your tank of petrol, while simultaneously lowering your emissions:
* Keep your tyres properly inflated – if they're deflated at all your car will find it harder to move, and as such will use more petrol in an effort to maintain speed. If one of your tyres is under-inflated by just two pounds per square inch, fuel consumption goes up by 1%.
* Keeping your speed constant over long distances uses less petrol, so don't stop and start. Allow your speed to creep up – revving the engine and causing the car to accelerate quickly is wasteful, as is speeding up to traffic lights and having to stop.
* Move up a gear as soon as possible – if traffic conditions allow, slip into a higher gear. You're at your most eco-friendly between 40 and 60 miles per hour.
