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