14 Introduction Changes in Driving Behavior Clean Cities / 14

15 Health and Environment Criteria Pollutants Carbon Monoxide (CO) Cardiovascular disease, damage nervous system Particulate Matter (PM) Aggravate asthma, emphysema, bronchitis, heart disease, lung disease, water pollution directly from vehicles Ozone (O 3 ) smog reduces lung function Nitrogen oxides (NOx) respiratory damage, autism link Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) global pollutant Clean Cities / 15

16 Use Fuel More Efficiently Practice more efficient driving techniques Properly refuel your vehicle Reduce idling Clean Cities / 16

17 Driving More Efficiently Be less aggressive Includes speeding, rapid acceleration, and braking Lowers gas mileage by 33% on highways Savings: $0.17 $1.11/gallon Obey the speed limit Gas mileage decreases at speeds over 50 mph For each 5 mph over 50 mph, you pay $0.24/gallon for gas Savings: $0.24 $0.47/gallon Remove excess weight An extra 100 lbs. could reduce your MPG by up to 2% Savings: $0.03 $0.07/gallon Clean Cities / 17

18 Driving More Efficiently Avoid idling Can use up to half a gallon of fuel per hour Turn off engine when vehicle is parked Savings: $0.01 $0.03/minute Keep engine tuned Fixing serious problems can improve mileage by 40% Savings: $0.13/gallon Properly inflate tires Under inflated tires can lower MPG by 0.3% for every 1 psi pressure drop Savings: $0.10/gallon Clean Cities / 18

19 Conclusions By practicing more efficient driving techniques, you could save $0.67 to $1.88 per gallon of gasoline Clean Cities / 19

20 Refueling Your Vehicle Stop at the click Be careful not to spill gasoline Spilled gasoline from topping off tank = less money for you 1 oz. of spilled gasoline evaporates and produces the same VOC emissions as a car driving 56 miles VOCs are volatile organic compounds and have compounding longterm health effects VOCs can lead to respiratory, allergic, or immune effects in children Refuel at night or early in the morning Prevents formation of ozone and keeps lungs healthier Ozone forms when evaporative emissions bake in the heat Keep this in mind, especially in the summer!
