Eco Driving
Top 10 Recommendations1. Hazard awareness & planning: early recognition of potential hazards will mean that you are travelling at the correct speed. This will help avoid harsh braking or acceleration and avoid unnecessary stopping.
2. Choosing your speed: Always observe the speed limit. Exceeding the speed limit by only a few miles per hour will mean you use more fuel.
3. Starting & driving away: avoid revving your engine when you start your vehicle and try to pull away smoothly.
4. The accelerator: try to use the accelerator smoothly and progressively. When appropriate, take your foot off the accelerator and allow the momentum of the car to take you forward.
5. Selecting Gears: it's not always necessary to change up or down through each gear, so try skipping gears. As soon as conditions allow, use the highest possible gear, without making the engine struggle.
6. Engine braking: with your foot fully off the accelerator the engine needs very little fuel, so take advantage of engine braking when possible.
7. Engine power: modern engines are very sophisticated and deliver power even when the revs are low. You'll find that you can make use of higher gears at lower speeds.
8. Route Planning: plan your route and avoid known hold-ups and roadworks. Always know where your going as you'll use a lot of fuel by getting lost.
9. Parking: always try and reverse into a parking space so that you can drive out of it, as maneuvering while the engine is cold uses lots of fuel.
10. Service & vehicle checks: your vehicle should be serviced and maintained regularly. You need to check your tyres frequently, as under-inflated tyres increase fuel consumption.
