Tips to Reduce Your Vehicle's Emissions
The way you drive can make a big difference to the amount of pollution your car produces.
- Keep your vehicle tuned to the manufacturer’s maintenance guidelines.
- Don’t warm up your car – this wastes fuel and is unnecessary if the vehicle is tuned.
- Don’t fill the tank past the first click – expansion of fuel can result in increased emission.
- Drive cleaner cars with the latest emissions control equipment – ask your dealer.
- Remove excess weight from your vehicle (e.g. sporting equipment or tools in the boot).
- Keep track of fuel economy – a loss in economy usually means an increase in emissions.
- Reduce idling time – idling for about 30 seconds uses more fuel than it takes to start the engine.
- Avoid short trips – until your car is at normal operating temperature, it will emit excess pollution.
- Travel at moderate, steady speeds and avoid high speeds as this will result in greater emissions.
- Don’t rev the engine.
- Avoid excessive acceleration and braking.
- Have your vehicle’s emission control systems checked regularly.
