How to drive greener

Although you may not be able to afford a new car, you can still drive green by following this tips.

Tip #1 - Start by taking it easy, no need for the jackrabbit starts or the aggressive braking. Just one second of full throttle is equal to 20 minutes of normal driving.

Tip #2 - Look down the road to see whats coming up. By doing this you can avoid hard braking.

Tip #3 - This tip applies to those who have manual transmissions. Don't let the engine rev, shift up earlier and your engine will burn less fuel.

Tip # 4 - Steer away from congested areas which will result in burning more fuel from idling. Instead of drive through, go into the restaurant and order - you'll get exercise and help the environment.

Tip # 5 - Turn of those unnecessary accessories like a/c, heated seats and items that plug in.

Now that you know a little more, show the environment how much you've learned by applying these tips as much as you can!
