How green is your car? You don’t have to drive a hybrid to go green with your vehicle. The first thing you can do to is make sure your car has decent tires fitted. Up to 20 percent of your fuel can actually be wasted with the wrong tires, especially if the resistance is too high. This makes the car work a lot harder and burn more gas. How much junk is in your trunk? Are you carrying around unnecessary weight? Lighten your load to save fuel. Don’t idle. If you are stopping for more than 2 minutes turn your engine off. The same energy is used to restart a car as if it was to run in idle mode. This helps to save you money and stops unnecessary emissions of green house gases.
