Achieve Driving School Abbotsford includes Eco-Driving in Driving Lessons.
Achieve Driving School in Abbotsford, BC represents a new driving culture, Eco Driving. We include Eco-Driving in Driving Lessons at no extra charge.
Eco driving is the modern and smart way to save fuel and reach your destination swiftly and most important safely. Consuming energy/fuel costs money and causes CO2 emissions and air pollutants with negative environmental impacts. Especially driving with high engine revolutions (high RPM) raises the fuel consumption significantly. Also avoidable sequences of acceleration and braking will lower fuel efficiency. Following the guideline “Safety First”,Eco driving enables a highly fuel efficient, smart and relaxed driving style without any loss of time. It's a good start to try to follow the tips listed. However, to Achieve best possible effects you should also attend an Eco driving training given by a qualified driving instructor at Achieve Driving School.For companies interested to save money in fuel consumption and reduce polution on the environment. We offer a 3hrs.package that includes a video presentation and 1.5hrs in car training. On site Eco Driving group training. Interested in maximizing fuel economy while minimizing wear an tear on your vehicle and the effect on the environment please call us at 604.200.4741.|

Here are five tips to keep your fuel consumption (and fuel costs) down, while driving in Abbotsford and Surrey: 1) Accelerate and brake smoothly. Abrupt starting and stopping wastes fuel, so accelerate gently and coast as much as possible before braking. 2) Keep a steady speed. Having a constantly fluctuating speed increases your fuel consumption. 3) Anticipate traffic. Look ahead and keep a safe following distance so you can anticipate what traffic is going to do and adjust your driving accordingly. 4) Coast to decelerate. This is key in heavy traffic. Keep anticipating what is happening ahead and let yourself coast instead of exhaustively using the gas and brake. 5) Avoid high speeds. Driving above the speed limit wastes fuel and money.

Golden Rules of Eco-Driving Lessons:
1. Anticipate Traffic Flow Read the road as far ahead as possible and anticipate the flow of traffic. Act instead of react – increase your scope of action with an appropriate distance between vehicles to use momentum (an increased safety distance equivalent of about 3 seconds to the car in front optimizes the options to balance speed fluctuations in traffic flow – enabling steady driving with constant speed). 2. Maintain a steady speed at low RPM Drive smoothly, using the highest possible gear at low RPM. 3. Shift up early Shift to higher gear at approximately 2.000 RPM. Consider the traffic situation, safety needs and vehicle specifics. 4. Check tire pressures frequently at least once a month and before driving at high speed Keep tires properly inflated as low tire pressure is a safety risk and wastes fuel. For correct tyre pressure (acc. To loading, highest pressure and speed driven), check with car’s manual. 5. Consider any extra energy required costs fuel and money Use air conditioning and electrical equipment wisely and switch it off if not needed. Electrical energy is converted from extra fuel burnt in a combustion engine, so electrical equipment doesn’t work “for free” – it always costs extra energy and money. Avoid dead weight and aerodynamic drag.|
