Top Tips for Eco-Driving If you implement these eco-driving tips you could experience a fuel saving of 1. Shift to a higher gear as soon as possible Driving at lower engine speeds reduces fuel consumption; change up between 2,000 and 2,500 rpm. 2. Anticipate road conditions and drive more smoothly Rather than last-minute braking, decelerate smoothly by releasing the accelerator as early as possible. With the car in gear and the accelerator released, a modern car uses almost no fuel at all. 3. Maintain a steady speed in as high a gear as possible Driving at a steady speed requires little effort for the engine. Avoiding unnecessary acceleration and heavy braking helps reduce your fuel consumption. 4. Drive a little slower than your normal speed Stick to the speed limits and make your fuel go further. Driving at 50mph rather than 70mph reduces your fuel consumption by 10%. For more fuel saving tips go to ecodrivescotland.com or call 0800 512 012. |
