Driving efficiently saves money, environment
NC — Everyone can stand to keep
a few more dollars in their wallets.
And with spring and summer road
trips just around the corner, now is
the perfect time to learn to make the
most of your fuel.
It all starts with the fuel
consumption ratings available on the
windows of new vehicles and on the
internet. They reflect the results of
standardized tests done in
laboratories on dynamometers that
simulate different driving
conditions.
While these ratings are achievable
if you drive with fuel efficiency in
mind, how, when and where
you drive can have a dramatic
effect on your vehicle's fuel
consumption.
To help adjust those figures into
your favour, follow these fuel-
efficient driving tips from Natural
Resources Canada:
• Accelerate gently: this can
reduce your fuel consumption by up
to 15 per cent.

• Drive at the posted speed limit:
Decreasing your cruising speed
from 120 kilometres per hour to 100
kilometres per hour will decrease
fuel consumption by approximately
20 per cent.
• Use air conditioning sparingly:
Air conditioning can increase a
vehicle's fuel consumption by as
much as 20 per cent.
• Measure your tire pressure
once a month: Operating a vehicle
with its tires underinflated by eight
pounds per square inch (PSI) can
reduce the life of the tires by 10,000
kilometres and increase the vehicle's
fuel consumption by up to four per
cent.
• Don't idle: Idling for more than
60 seconds uses more fuel and
produces more carbon dioxide
emissions compared to restarting
your engine.
• Use cruise control: Using cruise
control on dry, flat, wide-open
highways to help improve fuel

efficiency by maintaining an even
and steady speed.
• Take the most fuel-efficient
route: Those with fewer stop lights
and less traffic may use less fuel
than shorter routes with more stop
lights and heavy traffic.
• Avoid carrying unnecessary
weight: The less weight in your
vehicle, the less fuel your engine
will need and the fewer carbon
dioxide emissions your vehicle will
produce.
• Calculate your mileage: Set
your odometer every time you fill up
and challenge yourself to get better
and better readings.
• Stay up-to-date on the latest
info: Check out the Natural
Resources Canada website at
www.vehicles.gc.ca for some other
fuel-efficient driving tips.
