Are you concerned about the environment and the effect of pollution to the earth's eco system? There are many ways in which you can help. You can take big steps by driving an electric car or even a small one such as by adjusting your driving habits. Even small steps can make a big difference.
One easy way that you can conserve gas is by monitoring your driving habits. Driving fast and accelerating often burns and wastes a lot of gas. Drive at a steady speed whenever possible in order to conserve fuel. Avoid accelerating really fast and aggressively. Try to anticipate the flow of traffic and slow down or speed up accordingly.
If you want to make a huge step towards saving the environment, why not consider an electric car? An EV is completely clean meaning that it emits zero emissions period. If you live in a very urban area and drive occasionally you may want to consider an electric car. EV's are more suitable for those who have short commutes due to their limited mileage range which hovers around 100 miles per charge. The most popular EV on the market currently is the Nissan Leaf.
A more low maintenance car that is more practical for most people is a hybrid vehicle. These cars are propelled by the dual use of a traditional and electric motor. One advantage with hybrid cars is that they don't have the same range limitations that electric cars do. The most popular hybrid on the market currently is the Toyota Prius. Efficiency for the Prius stands at around 50 mpg.
If you want a traditional car; that's fine too. Just pick one that has good mileage. Many of Ford's cars come with Ecoboost engines which are designed to perform well while still being efficient. Ford Motor Company has a few cars in their lineup that near the 40 mpg mark.
Another idea to incorporate is that of carpooling. Why not carpool with a few of your office friends if you happen to live in nearby? You will also save on gas costs since the bill is generally split. You also get to drive in the fast lane which means you will get to work even faster.
Another option is to take public transportation once in a while. Some urban cities such as NY and L.A offer great transit systems. Another option is to walk if you are just running errands around your house. An added bonus is that you won't have to battle traffic or look for a parking spot. Plus walking is great.
