How To Boost Your Fuel Efficiency : We're regularly being reminded of the impact our lifestyle have on the environment. Being environmentally-friendly can also wind up saving you money.

如何提高燃料效率：常常有人提醒我們要注意我們的生活方式對(duì)環(huán)境所造成的影響。而反過來，環(huán)保也能為我們省錢。


Step 1: Improve your fuel economy, lower your CO2 emissions

1.提高燃料利用率，減少二氧化碳排放量。


There are a number of things you can do to make sure you're getting the highest number of miles out of your tank of petrol, while simultaneously lowering your emissions:

有很多方法都可以讓你的燃料利用率達(dá)到最高，同時(shí)也能實(shí)現(xiàn)減排：


* Keep your tyres properly inflated – if they're deflated at all your car will find it harder to move, and as such will use more petrol in an effort to maintain speed. If one of your tyres is under-inflated by just two pounds per square inch, fuel consumption goes up by 1%.

輪胎的氣要打足-如果一點(diǎn)兒都不充氣，你的車動(dòng)起來會(huì)很難，而如果這時(shí)還想保持一定的速度，那就會(huì)多耗油了。如果輪胎少?zèng)_2磅/平方英寸的氣，耗油量就會(huì)上升百分之一。


* Change the oil regularly to keep the engine ticking over at full efficiency.

定期換機(jī)油，讓發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)全效率運(yùn)行。


* Don't cart a boot full of heavy stuff around unnecessarily – it's dragging you down and costing you money.

不要在不必要的情況下載著一車的重貨跑-這樣會(huì)給你的車造成很大的阻力，會(huì)更耗油。


* Turn off the AirCon: it puts extra strain on the engine, which consequently guzzles more petrol.

關(guān)掉空調(diào)：它會(huì)給引擎造成額外的壓力，很費(fèi)油。


* Close the windows: it reduces the inherent aerodynamic sleekness of your car, and can lead to a 10% decrease in fuel economy.

關(guān)上車窗：這能增強(qiáng)汽車的流線性，降低空氣阻力，可以提高百分之十的燃料利用率。


* Keeping your speed constant over long distances uses less petrol, so don't stop and start. Allow your speed to creep up – revving the engine and causing the car to accelerate quickly is wasteful, as is speeding up to traffic lights and having to stop.

跑長途時(shí)勻速駕駛能省油，不要開開停停的。加速要緩-當(dāng)高速行駛時(shí)遇到紅燈需要停車時(shí)，過快加速會(huì)造成浪費(fèi)。


* Move up a gear as soon as possible – if traffic conditions allow, slip into a higher gear. You're at your most eco-friendly between 40 and 60 miles per hour.

盡快抬高車檔-如果交通狀況允許的話，把車檔抬高。車速達(dá)到每小時(shí)40到60英里時(shí)最為環(huán)保。


* Don't leave the engine to warm up in winter; you're burning petrol unnecessarily.

冬天的時(shí)候，不要讓引擎空轉(zhuǎn)，這是在不必要地費(fèi)油。


* Car share- split a journey with someone else – that's one less car on the road, ruining things.

和別人同乘一輛車-這樣，路上就能減少一輛能夠?qū)Νh(huán)境造成污染的車了。
