Ecodriving is easy to learn and it has been shown that written information itself has a substantial impact on driving behaviour, on safety and on fuel consumption without increasing travel time.
There are five basic rules to follow:
- Shift up as soon as possible: shift up between 2.000 and 2.500 revolutions.
- Maintain a steady speed: use the highest gear possible and drive with low engine RPM.
- Anticipate traffic flow: look ahead as far as possible and anticipate to surrounding traffic
- Decelerate smoothly: when you have to slow down or to stop, decelerate smoothly by releasing the accelerator in time, leaving the car in gear.
- Check the tyre pressure frequently: 25% too low tyre pressure increases rolling resistance by 10% and your fuel consumption by 2%.
