How to Be an Environmentally Friendly Driver

There is a lot of motivation to strive to be more environmentally friendly in most aspects of your life these days. There are tax breaks for buying environmentally friendly products and using energy efficient products, and you can save a lot of money on fuel costs. This certainly applies to driving as well, so here are some tips to try and make sure that you’re having the most efficient ride possible.

  1. Always maintain the proper inflation in your tires. If you look at your tires you will be able to see printed on the tire itself the proper inflation pressure. The lower your tires, the more fuel you burn, and you can also make yourself less safe on the road.
  2. Adhere to all posted speed limits. People don’t realize that just by going 10 miles faster than the posted speed limit you can burn as much as 10% more fuel, making your trip much more costly than the few minutes you gain are probably worth.
  3. Get regular tune ups. Poor spark plugs, air filters, tires that need to be rotated, or transmission fluid problems can all cause you to have a less efficient car.  
  4. Take your time accelerating. You don’t want to just jam the gas pedal when taking off or you will burn excess fuel.
  5. Stay out of traffic. Starting and stopping uses more gas and puts out more pollution, so if you can drive in lighter traffic conditions you will have a more efficient ride.
  6. Get regular oil changes. Every car is different, and if you follow your recommendations as laid out by your manufacturer you should not only get better gas mileage, but will also have a vehicle that will last longer.
  7. Don’t bother with premium fuel. Certain cars require it in their engines, but other than that, you get no benefits from it, and only end up causing more pollution and costing you more money.
  8. Don’t carry unnecessary goods in the car. The more weight you have in the car with you, the more fuel every journey will consume. Unload anything you don’t need with you on that particular trip.
  9. Don’t use your air conditioner unless you absolutely have to. Roll down the windows or turn the fan on before you try the AC, as it will increase both the pollutants you put into the air, and the amount of fuel that you burn.
