Eco Friendly Driving

Studies have shown that driverswho practice eco-friendly drivingcan boost fuel efficiency by asmuch as 25 percent. As well, apoorly tuned/maintained enginecan increase fuel consumptionby as much as 10-20 percent. Regular, proper maintenance cangreatly improve fuel mileage. Proper tire inflation is vitallyimportant also. Idling wastes fueland needlessly pollutes. Vehicles do not need to be idled for anylength of time during and shouldbe turned off if idling for morethan a minute.
