CU Tip: Tips for fuel-efficient driving

Here are some great tips from Natural Resources Canada,that can quickly put money back in your pocket.

1. Don’t drive aggressively » Quick starts, hard stops and aggressive driving can increase fuel consumption by up to 37%.
2. Drive at the posted speed limit » Increasing your cruising speed from 100 km/h to 120 km/h will increase fuel consumption by about 20%
3. Don’t idle » When you let your vehicle idle longer than 10 seconds, you burn more fuel than you would restarting the engine
4. Measure the inflation level of your tires once a month. A single tire under-inflated by just 56 kPa (8psi) can increase your vehicle’s fuel consumption by 4%
