ecoENERGY for Personal Vehicles

Reducing fuel consumption means saving money and, more importantly, helping the environment. Fuel use is an ongoing expense and should be considered when purchasing or leasing a vehicle. Choosing the most fuel-efficient and appropriate size of vehicle, driving in a fuel-efficient manner, using your vehicle only when needed and following the manufacturer's operation and maintenance recommendations for your vehicle can save you fuel and money.

Vehicle use has a significant impact on the environment and our health. GHGs, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2), are produced when fuel is burned in your vehicle's engine. For every litre of gasoline used, about 2.3 kilograms (kg) of CO2 are generated. Although not directly harmful to our health, CO2 emissions contribute to climate change.
