Saving fuel and helping the environment ¤ Introduction In this section you’ll find information about: Efficient driving style Fuel-efficient driving Fuel consumption, environmental impact, and wear and tear on engine, brakes and tires depend mainly on the following 3 factors: x Your personal driving style. x External conditions (weather, road conditions). x Technical requirements. You can reduce fuel consumption by up to 25% by using a few simple techniques and adjusting your driving style. WARNING Always adjust your speed and the distance you keep between you and the vehicles ahead of you to the road, traffic, weather, and visibility conditions.
