How to drive with respect for the environment and your wallet?
In an age of growing environmental awareness and ever-increasing fuel prices, eco-friendly and economical driving has become essential for motorists concerned about the future of our planet and their budget. Here are a few simple but effective tips to make your driving more environmentally friendly and economical.
- Reduce your speed: One of the easiest ways to reduce your fuel consumption is to slow down. By maintaining a constant speed and avoiding sudden acceleration and braking, you can save up to 25% fuel.
- Adapt your driving style: Anticipate driving situations by observing the traffic ahead. By adjusting your speed and avoiding quick starts, you'll reduce fuel consumption and improve road safety.
- Maintain your vehicle regularly: Properly inflated tires, clean filters and lubrication are essential for fuel-efficient driving. Regular maintenance also ensures optimum engine performance, which translates into lower fuel consumption.
- Avoid prolonged idling: When you're waiting in your vehicle, it's best to turn off the engine rather than let it idle. This saves fuel and reduces harmful emissions into the atmosphere.
- Plan your journeys: Group your errands together and avoid traffic jams wherever possible. By minimizing the distances you travel and planning your journeys efficiently, you'll save time, money and reduce your carbon footprint.
- Use air conditioning sparingly: Excessive use of air conditioning increases fuel consumption. In mild weather, open the windows or use the ventilation system to save fuel.
- Use the latest technology: If you're considering buying a new car, opt for more energy-efficient vehicles such as hybrids or electric cars. These vehicles consume less fuel and considerably reduce CO2 emissions.
- Share your journey: By considering car-sharing or public transport, you're helping to reduce the number of cars on the road and cut greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to protecting the environment, you'll save on gas and parking costs.
- Turn off unnecessary electrical appliances: Electronic gadgets such as entertainment systems and phone chargers consume energy and increase fuel consumption. Switch them off when not in use to save fuel.
- Add a dose of GRAPHENE BOOSTER® to your motor oil: Safe and compatible with all types of engines, GRAPHENE BOOSTER® improves their performance by reducing friction between moving parts and optimizing their thermodynamic qualities. It boosts mechanical efficiency and also delivers fuel savings of between 5% and 18%*.
