CONSERVE FUELAND SAVE NATURE
Drive between 45-55 Km/H : Drive slow and
steady. The faster you go, the more wind

15. resistance your vehicle will face. If you go at
speeds above 60 Km/H, you will waste petrol.
Tests on Indian cars prove that you can get up to
40 % extra mileage at 45-55 Km/H as against 80
Km/H.
Avoid accelerating or decelerating unnecessarily.
Drive in the Correct Gear :Incorrect gear shifting
can lead to as much as 20% increase in fuel
consumption. Start in the 1st gear only, except if
you are in a muddy patch or going downhill then
engage the 2nd gear.
Good Braking Habits: Stop-and-go driving wastes
fuel. When you slam on the brakes, a lot of useful
energy is wasted in the form of heat. A good
driver always anticipates stops.
Save Fuel for better and healthier tomorrow.
