Your Vehicle

According to CRed, our cars release over a tonne of C02 each year for every man, woman and child.

• When you are using your car drive with style, keep your distance and minimise the amount of breaking and accelerating you have to do. This is a much more efficient way of making your car do more miles to every litre you pay for. In fact it can save you about 13% of your fuel costs.
• Every journey under 3 miles that you decide not to use the car for will save about 2 kg C02. Walk or cycle instead and it will improve your health and your waistline
• You can find more on cutting motoring costs here.

The UK Government's Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA) has also published lots of data about vehicles and efficiency and the information in the link below is taken from their websites.
