Eco-Driving is not only good for the environment, but its good for your car and your bank account as well - driving economically reduces fuel consumption, green house gas emissions, not to mention accident rates.
Eco-driving features in many of our packages, but essentially there are 5 golden rules of eco-driving:
- Shift up gears as soon as possible - between 2,000-2,500 rpm.
- Maintain a steady speed in the highest gear possible.
- Anticipate traffic flow to avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking.
- Decelerate smoothly, rather than breaking too quickly
- Check your tyre pressure frequently You can find these in the cars manual and sometimes on the inside edge of the car door.
