EcoDriver Lunch 'n' Learn
If you are concerned about gas costs and the emissions associated with driving, you can help your wallet and the planet by attending an EcoDriver Lunch n’ Learn presentation.
Delivered in a friendly, “driver-to-driver” manner – EcoDriver will show you several ways to reduce your car’s fuel consumption. And since there is about a 35% difference between the most fuel-efficient and least fuel-efficient drivers on the road, there is a lot that we can do!
Some of the helpful tips that will be discussed include:
- Slow down and save - Fuel efficiency drops by 10% for every 10km/h we drive over 100km/h, so driving 120 costs 20% more than driving 100.
- Easy on the pedal - Jackrabbit starts and hard braking can increase fuel consumption by 37%. And it saves only 2.5 minutes in an hour of driving.
- Be Idle Free - Ten seconds of idling uses more gas than restarting the engine. And an average car goes through almost a 1/3 litre of gas in just 10 minutes.
- Reducing fuel consumption by just 10 tanks a year can save you hundreds of dollars and reduce your emissions by almost one tonne.
Participants will receive a free tire pressure gauge!
