Are You Enviromentally Conscious When It Comes To Your Automobile?

By changing a few habits you  can do  your  part in helping the environment.



Regular  maintenance and better driving habits are two easy-to-implement strategies that  will help your vehicle last longer and even get a better resale price.


The following tips can put you on the road to environmentally conscious vehicle  care:

•Keep the engine running at peak performance—a misfiring spark plug can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent. Replace filters and fluids as recommended in the manual.


• Don’t ignore that ‘Service Engine’ light.

•Keep tires properly inflated and aligned to reduce the engine’s effort and help with gasoline consumption.
( your tires will last longer too, saving you money and easing the burden at recycling centers.)


•Avoid speeding and sudden acceleration ; (boths guzzle gas). When waiting for friends or family, shut off the engine. Consolidate daily errands to eliminate unnecessary driving.


•Remove excess items from the vehicle, since less weight means better mileage.


•If you do your own repairs,  be sure to dispose of engine fluids and batteries.
