Gas Savings

The Canadians are Auto$mart!

The Canadian Office of Energy Efficiency has some great guides, videos and tips for more efficient driving and gas saving. As they so succinctly put it:

Your driving habits – when and where you drive, how often, the speed you travel, your aggressiveness on the road and other factors – have a lot to do with your vehicle’s fuel consumption and costs.

They break it down to these 9 main tips:

1. Plan trips carefully.
2. Use public transit whenever possible.
3. Avoid aggressive driving.
4. Drive at the posted speed limit.
5. Keep idling to a minimum.
6. Warm your engine with a block heater in winter.
7. Warm up your vehicle by driving it, not idling.
8. Keep your tires properly inflated.
9. Minimize your use of air conditioning.
