Efficient Driving to Conserve Fuel
Eco-Driving
Eco-driving programs promote smarter, more fuel-efficient driving behaviors. The New York State Department of Transportation, for example, increases awareness about eco-driving with the Drive Green, Save Green program. Included in the program are estimated fuel costs, tips for efficient driving, and guidance on maintaining a vehicle for peak performance.
Fleet managers and drivers can improve the efficiency of their vehicles, conserve fuel, save money, and reduce emissions through simple changes in driving behaviors. Analysis from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory shows that by improving driving behavior, vehicle fuel use can be reduced by 5%–10% for the average driver and up to 20% for aggressive drivers.
