Small Steps Can Lead To Significant Savings

(NAPSI)-There's good news for those who want to save fuel and money and do their part to help save the environment at the same time. They are actually part of a new trend known as eco-driving--a blending of ecology and driving.

It turns out that small steps can make a big difference. For example:

• Avoid rapid starts and stops.

• When possible, use the highest gear possible. It saves fuel and engine wear.

• Plan your trip ahead of time. It saves time and gas.

• Schedule periodic tune-ups. A tuned engine is more efficient.

• Use the motor oil recommended for your engine. The right oil can improve fuel economy.

Both Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger of California and Governor Bill Ritter of Colorado support the ecodriving initiative.

Check your tire pressure. Underinflated tires waste fuel. Remember that the temperature outside can change your tire's air pressure on the inside.
