Vehicle fuel efficiency
There are many factors that influence how much fuel is used to complete a journey.
Load in the vehicle :  Don't carry unnecessary things all the time.  The additional weight increases the fuel consumption.
Engine idling for prolonged periods :  While idling, engines consume a lot of fuel. Running an engine when the engine is not moving is pointless.
Under inflated tyres : An under inflated tyre results in higher fuel consumption. It also reduces the tyre life.
Driving Habits :  Driving at high speeds, rapid acceleration and hard braking waste fuel.  You can improve fuel economy by driving at a constant speed.
Other factors that effect fuel efficiency: Use of A/C system:The hot & humid climate of U.A.E., puts an intense demand on the 'Air conditioning System' of your car, and consequently on fuel consumption. Engine needs a tune up: Regular maintenance will take care of the various systems and components, which affect the fuel efficiency.
Alternative fuels
Green Diesel (Ultra low Sulphur diesel) ULSD is diesel fuel with ≤15 ppm sulphur content (in contrast to 500ppm in normal diesel) NOx and particulate matter are the two most harmful diesel pollutants. These emissions can be controlled with the use of catalytic converters (for NOx) and particulate traps. However, sulphur deactivates these devices. Using ULSD enables these devices to work properly.

LPG  generates less harmful air pollutants and greenhouse gases than conventional petrol. Cars require a “conversion” to use LPG.
Natural gas for vehicles (NGV) also generates less air pollutants and greenhouse gases. It is cheaper than LPG. Formerly known as Compressed Natural Gas (CNV)
Biodiesel is derived from vegetable oils and animal fats. It usually produces less air pollutants than petroleum-based diesel. Biodiesel can be controversial due to the need for large tracts of land that might otherwise be used to grow food.
Ethanol is produced from sugarcane and other crops and produces less greenhouse gas emissions than conventional fuels. In Brazil, flexible vehicles can use either ethanol or petrol.
Electricitycan power electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles directly from the power grid. Electricity is stored in the vehicle's batteries.  Vehicles that run on electricity produce no tailpipe emissions. The only emissions that can be attributed to electricity are those generated in the production process at the power plant (which is at least 60% cleaner than tailpipe emissions per unit of energy). Electricity is easily accessible for short-range driving.

The Toyota Priuswon the Sheikh Zayed Future Energy Prize in 2010 for its innovative hybrid technology. The Prius uses an electric battery and petrol.
Fuel spills PREVENTION: Do not overfill tanks Make sure caps are tightly sealed MANAGEMENT: Ensure no sources for ignition (fire) are nearby Ensure adequate ventilation Contain the spill (barrier) Soak up excess with absorbent (e.g. foam) Dispose of safely where no contact with water will occur Detergent & water can be used to remove stains Incident to be documented and reported
