How can you be an eco-friendly driver?

There are a lot of ways on how you can be an eco-friendly driver even if it is not an eco-friendly car you own.

I'll give one tip: Slow down when you are driving because cars are more efficient at lower speed.

Share your tips too.

My tips are:
- Drive with the windows closed. Less drag on the car means better fuel economy.
- Drive without the air conditioning if possible. Air conditioning also increases your fuel consumption.
- Avoid heavy acceleration or braking.
- Always drive in the highest gear possible.
- Make sure your tyres are inflated correctly. Under inflated tyres cause more drag on the road, which makes your vehicle less fuel efficient.
- Avoid carrying excessive weight. Lose the roof rack or trailer if you're not using it.
- Don't drive when you can walk or cycle. I see lots of people in my home town drive to the shop only half a mile away. That's just the height of laziness.
