Chrysler Aspen
How can you save gasoline/diesel?
1) Check your tire pressure (ask tire shop)
Low tire pressure works like a brake
- you need more gasoline/diesel
2) Check how much unnecessary things/weight
you have in your car.
Every pound raises your gasoline consumption.
3) Check your air filter
An engine needs air to burn the gasoline/diesel
When the air filter is clogged up, the engine has to suck harder and you need more gasoline/diesel
4) Think about how fast you drive
The faster you drive
the more gasoline/diesel you burn
Our recycling truck gets 18 mi/gallon
when we drive 70 mph
BUT it run 22 miles a gallon
when we drive 53 mph
Sure, it takes more time, but just take your calculator
When you have to drive 35 miles with 70 mph
you need 1/2 an hour or 30 minutes
Now, you want to save gasoline/diesel and
you lower your speed to 53 mph
you will drive 9 minutes longer
BUT you save $1.40 on this one short trip
Think about how much you can lower your monthly bill.
5) Think about using synthetic oil for your engine
Synthetic oil provides less friction
less friction =
less gasoline/diesel usage
6) Think ahead when you drive and
you will save gasoline/diesel
Don't speed to the next light
When you see it is red, take your foot from the pedal
Every time you hit the brakes, you destroy energy = your money.
And you burn more gasoline again when you accelerate.
7) Save a lot of gasoline when reducing the time you idle your engine

the earth – friendly,
driver – friendly smart fortwo.
From the outset, we designed the smart fortwo to be
one of the most ecologically responsible vehicles on the road.
The smart fortwo’s modular design makes it
easier and more efficient to disassemble and recycle.
Parts are made from materials selected for minimal
environmental impact and maximum recyclability
- 95% of the smart fortwo’s parts are recyclable
- Several parts, including the inner fenders and
underbody trays, are made from renewable raw
materials and
- 100% recycled plastic
This responsible engineering also extends to the
Production line itself.
Our smarville factory in Hambach, France, is
environmentally neutral and makes the most efficient
use of natural resources. The entire production process takes only eight hours
from start to finish, minimizing the impact on the
environment.
With the Biosep process, smartville does not pollute the
environment any more than a town with 50 inhabitants
And, of course, you’ll also appreciate the ecological
advantages of the smart fortwo every time you take to
the road.
The smart fortwo is the most fuel – efficient, gas –
powered vehicle in the U.S.*
and ranks among the country’s top three most
fuel – efficient vehicles of any kind.
The EPA has certified the smart fortwo for its low
greenhouse gas and air pollutant scores.
It is also ULEV (Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle)
rated by the California Air Resource Board.
The smart fortwo is only about half the length of the
average vehicle in the U.S., taking up eight feet less
room on the road and allowing you to fit into the tightest of spaces.
If every vehicle sold in the U.S. were a smart fortwo, it
would free up 24,242 miles of roadway (nearly the entire circumference of the earth)

"Driving Green"
Yext is a great information tool about
car maintenance, green driving, auto repair ...
Be careful when driving on wet, slick roads!
When its raining:
Slow down
Drive carefully when coming around a turn
When you are skidding, pump the brakes lightly
The better your tire profil, the safer you drive
Wrong inflated tires or worn down tires
cannot get a grip of the road
The deeper the water gets, the more dangerous
it gets for you (and your car)
Puddles can lift your tire and you glide as on ice.
