Drive smoothly
- Shift up early, at low engine speed.
- Look ahead and anticipate, so you brake and accelerate less.
- Let the car roll in gear when you have to slow down, for example towards a red light.
- Use cruise control on quiet roads.
Your car
- Check your tyre pressure regularly. Tyres with too little pressure use more fuel and are less safe.
- Remove a roof box or roof rack when you do not need it.
- Do not carry unnecessary weight.
- Air conditioning uses extra fuel; use it when needed.
Less driving, less waiting
Switch off the engine when you stand still for a longer time, for example at an open bridge. Plan your trip to avoid traffic jams, and consider cycling or public transport for short trips.
