Flex Your Power at the Pump
Launched by the State of California, Flex Your Power at the Pump is California's statewide effort to educate and encourage people and organizations to use gasoline more efficiently this summer - saving money and contributing to a healthy economy and environment.
This effort brings together the state's residents, businesses, community organizations, institutions, and local governments to take voluntary actions that help save fuel.
As part of our commitment to this campaign, we are taking several measures to ensure fuel-efficient operations, educating our employees about how to save energy and helping the state educate the public. We are proud to join the hundreds of organizations that are participating in this important campaign.
Here's what you can do:
1. Keep your tires inflated to the recommended pressure.
2. Use your air conditioning selectively.
3. Observe the posted speed limits. It's safer and saves gas.
The 3 simple steps above can save up to 15% in fuel costs.
1. Accelerate smoothly and brake gradually. It's safer and uses less gas.
2. Properly maintain your vehicle and replace your air and oil filters as recommended.
3. Minimize the amount of time your vehicle idles.
