Golden Rules of ecodriving
Shift up as soon as possible Shift up between 2.000 and 2.500 revolutions. Maintain a steady speed Use the highest gear possible and drive with low engine RPM Anticipate traffic flow Look ahead as far as possible and anticipate to surrounding traffic Decelerate Smoothly When you have to slow down or to stop, decelerate smoothly by releasing the accelerator in time, leaving the car in gear Check the tyre pressure frequently 25% too low tyre pressure increases rolling resistance by 10% and your fuel consumption by 2%.
