Helpful Tips for Vehicles
- Driving at a conservative speed on the highway has shown to get better gas mileage in most automobiles. This is enhanced by driving at a steady pace.
- Check tire pressure regularly and make sure that the tires are at the manufacturer's recommended specification.
- Keep the vehicle properly aligned. If the wheels are out of alignment, it could affect the fuel consumption.
- Make every effort to maintain the vehicle maintenance per the manufacturer's specification in newer model cars.
- In older model cars, keep the oil changed at regular intervals. Also, have a certified mechanic check to make sure there are no other items that need to be addressed.
- Change the air filter when needed and the fuel filter at regular intervals. A filter problem could reduce the fuel consumption in your vehicle.
- Remove unnecessary weight from the vehicle. This could help reduce fuel usage.
The plan is to take the vehicle operations green by 80 % by the year 2011 with replacing vehicles in the fleet by means of grants and other resources.
