How 10 SAvE ENERGY
ON1IIERO%D.
Your energy is valuable, but it's easy
to save. Here are some tips to help
all drivers stop wasting our valuable
energy.
1. Don't speed. Staying below 90 kph
uses about 20 per cent less fuel
than speeding at 110 kph.
2. Accelerate smoothly and steadily.
Sudden starts force too much
fuel into the engine, fuel that just
gets wasted instead of being
burned efficiently.
3. Brake slowly and evenly. Antici-
pate stops and ease up on the
accelerator earlier.
4. Using the recommended octane
grade for your car, avoiding un-
necessary idling and using an
automatically timed block heater
in winter are other easy ways
to cut down on energy use...
and cost.
