Tips & Info

Observe Speed Limits

Mileage decreases sharply above 100 kms/hr. This consumes greater amounts of fuel and increases the 'litres per hundred kilometres' ratio.

Drive Gently

Avoid sudden accelerations and jerky stop-and-go's. Use cruise-control on the open highways to keep your speed as steady as possible.

Plan Trips

Consolidate your daily errands to eliminate unnecessary driving. Try to travel when traffic is light to avoid stop-and-go situations. Join a car pool if possible.

Remember, how your car runs, how you drive it, and how and where its fluids, old parts and tires are disposed, all have serious consequences for the environment.

And how fit your car is very much up to you, the owner. Perhaps years ago, a shade-tree mechanic whose only credentials were a tool box and busted knuckles was enough. But not today ! Today's high tech vehicles need more .... and today's quality-conscious consumer demands more.

Cars & the Environment

Every ten days, motorists who drive with under-inflated tires and poorly maintained engines waste 70 million gallons of gasoline.
