Global warmingGlobal warming

Global warming means:Greenhouse gases, produced from the

burning of fossil fuels, are building up beyond the Earth's capacity to remove them and, in effect, creating an extra-thick heat blanket around the Earth.

We've set a goal for our fleet:

• Goal: To reduce emissions in the worldwide fleet by 30% by 2010 (compared to 2003)

• Current Global Target: 150 grams per kilometer

• Equivalent to: 36.4 miles per gallon gasoline41.6 miles per gallon diesel15.5 kilometers per liter gasoline17.7 kilometers per liter diesel

Question 1Question 1

If you could protect the planet by simply changing a few driving habits, would you do it? Say, for example, you could help by spending less time idling your engine… would you do that?

Yes

No

Sounds too simple to be true?

• No matter how fuel-efficient your vehicle, idling gets 0 miles/kilometers per gallon

• Just 10 seconds of idling can use more fuel than shutting down and restarting your engine

So if you're not in traffic and you're going to be sitting still for a minute, turn off your ignition. For example:

• At drive-through windows• When waiting for a passenger

True

False

Avoid excessive speedAvoid excessive speed

True. Most vehicles reach optimal fuel economy somewhere around 60 mph (97 km/h).

• Above these speeds, factors like wind resistance quickly start to drag down your fuel economy – as much as 7% to 23%

If you're prone to jackrabbit starts and stops when you drive, committing to more sensible driving habits can save you 5% to 33% on fuel.

True

False

True. Most of the time, you have control over how quickly you accelerate (speed up) and decelerate (slow down).

• This is a big factor in fuel economy

Let's start with rapid acceleration, as in bolting off the line the moment a light turns green.

• Increasing your speed requires energy• The faster you increase speed, the more

energy required• The more energy required, the more fuel

you burn

Now for rapid deceleration, as in slamming on the brakes.

• Hard, fast braking is rarely necessary• And it wastes all that energy you built up

when you accelerated (gradually, of course)

So, to save fuel and be a better, safer driver:

• Accelerate smoothly, gradually• Scan well ahead as you drive so you spot

traffic signals and potential hazards early• Start slowing down early• Brake gradually
