🌱 Eco-Driving

Eco-driving is about driving in a way that saves fuel and reduces emissions.

Basic principles of eco-driving:

• Accelerate calmly and evenly
• Maintain steady speed - avoid jerky driving
• Read traffic and plan driving ahead
• Use the car's kinetic energy (engine braking)

Gear shifting:

• Shift up early - at about 2000-2500 rpm
• Drive in as high a gear as possible
• Skip gears if possible (e.g., 2nd to 4th)

Speed and fuel consumption:

• 110 km/h consumes about 15% more than 90 km/h
• Cruise control helps maintain steady speed
• Avoid idling - turn off engine during longer stops

Vehicle maintenance:

• Check tire pressure regularly - low pressure increases consumption
• Remove roof box when not in use - increases air resistance
• Regular service provides optimal fuel efficiency

Benefits of eco-driving:

• Save money on fuel (up to 15%)
• Reduce environmental impact
• Wear on brakes and engine decreases
• Safer driving through better planning
