Car

If you do decide to hire (or use your own car whilst on holidays), there are several environmentally friendly or green travel options to be aware of. The following are all ways of reducing your impact on the environment

Keeping to the speed limit
Switching off the engine in heavy traffic jams
Driving in as high a gear as possible
Minimizing use of roof racks
Check your tires, ensure wheels are aligned and tires inflated

In order to reduce fuel burn, plan your intended route first to avoid congestion and having to re route due to incorrect directions. For a potential savings on fuel, keep your car's engine tuned properly and ensure that your spark plugs, oxygen sensors, air filters, hoses and belts are tuned properly

The burning of fossil fuel results in the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, and is contributing to the effect of global warming. This growing concern has led to the idea of 'green' cars, which cause less damage to the environment.
