Act on CO2 - Smarter Driving

Pumped Up Tyres Mean Less CO2
There are a few small things we can all do when we drive our cars to help reduce the amount of fuel we burn and so cut down on CO2 emissions.
 
The secret is to help reduce the amount of work your engine has to do because the greater the workload, the more fuel is burned so the higher the CO2 emissions.
 
You will also save money on running costs so it can be doubly rewarding.

Tips and Advice

  • Less clutter in your car means less CO2
  • Pump up your tyres to cut down CO2
  • Driving at an appropriate speed reduces CO2

Use Less Fuel

  • Over revving accelerates emissions
  • Less stopping and starting means less CO2
  • Idling is wasting fuel
