Going Green – The Easy Way
Wednesday, 11. November 2009
Trying to get everyone to go green overnight and buy electric cars will simply not work. The view is now to take a piecemeal approach and start by getting people gradually into more fuel efficient cars that kick out fewer CO2’s. Drivers should first be made more aware of cleaner driving practices. Knocking 10% off your cruising motorway speed can improve fuel consumption along with controlled braking and less than Jensen Button style acceleration away from the lights. It is felt that when drivers become more aware of their driving style and the effect that it can have on their pocket along with the planet it may well have a positive affect on their desire to drive a greener car. That’s the theory anyway! And on a further positive note I have seen a marked drop in enquiries for 4WD cars this year, could it be that drivers are already thinking green or is it because I’ve had no really good 4WD deals to offer customers this yer?
