Eco-Driving:My 5 Smart Tips.

The car is an expensive means of transport:I will therefore give five smart tips for practicing eco-driving that will reduce your budget.

Since it is difficult for me to do without my car, I will have to find solutions to appease my wallet. So I'm switching to eco-driving to reduce my fuel costs, which are eating into my car budget.

1. My first piece of advice is to always drive 10 km/h below speed limits :for example, instead of driving at 130 km/h on the highway, I only drive at 120 km/h, I only lose 4 minutes on average on my journey time, on the other hand I make a good fuel economy.

2. In the same spirit, I drive more calmly , that is to say without jerking, so I maintain a constant speed and I consume less gasoline ... not to mention that it is much more pleasant for the passengers than undergoing aggressive driving which gives highs the heart!

3. Third eco-driving tip:plan your journey in advance . By calculating my route beforehand on Mappy, I avoid getting lost and I choose the shortest route:no loss of fuel and no unnecessary stress because once again I got lost! Now I know where I'm going, I know the time needed for my trip... smart, right?

4. Another tip for saving gas in solidarity:carpooling . Whether it's to go to work, or to go on vacation, you will easily find one or more motorists happy to travel with you.

5. Finally, my last bright tip is to not leave the engine running unnecessarily when we are stopped. After 15 seconds of stopping, it is more economical to switch off the engine than to leave it running. During traffic jams, to check my road map, to make a phone call... I simply turn off my engine and save money!

Savings

Reducing your speed by 10 km/h means 20% less fuel consumption on the highway.

By driving calmly and planning my route in advance, I can save 40% in town:and yes, nothing is worse than braking and accelerating, or taking detours to consume as much as possible.

With carpooling, you have THE solution to reduce your gas and toll consumption by up to four times. I make a gesture of solidarity, and so I was able to go to the seaside, for only 35 euros!
