5 Ways to Make Your Car More Eco-Friendly

11/10/2019

​Not everyone wants to have a hybrid or electric car. One reason is that it's expensive. However, you won't need the latest Tesla model car if you want to have a more eco-friendly car. Here are five ways to cut down on your vehicle's carbon footprint.
Fill Under-Inflated Tires
Check your tire pressure. Only fully inflated tires can make the engine work efficiently. If you have under-inflated tires, your engine will have to work harder and will need to burn more gas. Correct pressure is the best recommendation, but you need an air compressor to check this out. Unscrew the cap of the valve, then fill it as you watch the gauge. Also, fully inflated tires last longer.

Remove Extra Weight
The more your vehicle weighs, the more the engine has to work. Thus, the more fuel your car has to use. Remove extra weight from your car as much as you can. Only keep what’s useful. This can save a lot of fuel for thousands of miles. You’re also leaving out much less carbon in the process.

Fill Up the Right Way
If you top off your gas tank with a little too much, that will lead to harmful vapors from your tank. If you put in a little extra fuel, that would force the liquid fuel into the emissions canister. This should make the excess fuel useless. Also, spilled fuel comes from an overfilled tank. Spilled fuel will only bring about more vapor emissions in the process. 

Don’t Use Air Conditioning
When it's too hot during summer, sometimes you can't resist the temptation of getting ice-cold air conditioning. However, your A/C will not only strain your car's system. It will also make your engine work harder to make up for the strain. This leads to consuming more fuel and leaving behind more carbon footprint. Keep your windows open to let the cool breeze in.

Check the Emissions System
Your vehicle's emissions system determines the kind of fumes coming out of your exhaust pipe. The emissions system is a complex one. However, if one part goes wrong, you'll end up having more vapor emissions. Get someone to inspect this part of your car if you think something’s wrong with it.

Some Final Words
Your car is your responsibility. However, you should know that drivers have a responsibility to the environment. What you do now for the environment, you’re doing for the rest of humanity. If you could add an auto insurance policy for your car, that would be another great idea. A car insurance policy will give you peace of mind.
