GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING SAVING FUEL Electrical devices Here are some suggestions which can help you to save fuel and lower harmful emissions. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS Only use electrical devices for the amount of time needed. The heated rear window, additional headlights, windscreen wipers and heater fan need a considerable amount of energy, therefore increasing fuel consumption (by up to 25% in the urban cycle).
Unnecessary actions Avoid revving up when at traffic lights or before switching off the engine. This action and also double declutching is absolutely pointless on modern cars and also increases consumption and pollution. Gear selection Use a higher gear as soon as traffic and road conditions allow. Using a low gear for faster acceleration will increase consumption. In the same way improper use of a high gear increases consumption, emissions and engine wear.
