Make Your Cars Environment Friendly

According to experts, you can make your cars environment friendly and fuel efficient by changing a few driving habits and taking care of little things. You do not have to buy a new hybrid car or a vehicle running with alternate fuel to save the environment or reduce expenses on purchasing fuel.

The two major keys towards making your cars environment friendly and fuel efficient are - regular car maintenance and improving driving habits. Given below are few easy tips which will help you to do your part towards the environment and make savings on fuel bill too.

• Ensure that your engine is always performing its best. Replace its fluids and filters at regular intervals and check if the spark plugs are misfiring. An engine that is well tuned pollutes less, as well as, consumes less fuel.
• After repairing your cars by yourself, always dispose batteries and engine fluids in the right place as these can pollute and harm the environment to a great extent.
• To improve the fuel efficiency of your vehicles and prevent wastage, ensure that the tires are in correct alignment and properly inflated.
• Getting the repair or maintenance work done by a reputed and qualified technician, helps improve your vehicle's performance.
• Get the air conditioners of your cars serviced by a certified technician who is well aware about proper handling and recycling of refrigerants.
• Avoid over speeding and using accelerators suddenly as these habits not only cause great wear and tear to the vehicle, but also increase fuel consumption.
• While waiting to pick up someone, do not leave the engine running.
• Use your car only when necessary. Prefer walking over driving as it is good for the environment, as well as, your health.
• Never keep your car's truck filled with excess and unnecessary items as they add on weight to the vehicle, which increases fuel consumption. By reducing weight on the vehicle, you can improve its mileage. Also remove the roof top carrier, when not needed, in order to reduce air drag.

The above mentioned tips will not only help to make your cars fuel efficient and environment friendly, but also increase its longevity through better maintenance. Also, you can make savings on your fuel and car repair bills.
