Comments: ECO INSTRUCTIONS
Did you know that in 2010, drivers would be charged extra for emissions? Representatives of the Ministry of Environment are calculating the value that they will obtain in the next year for each gram of carbon dioxide emitted over the maximum admitted level , which now is between 150 and 176 grams. We want to offer you some solutions (which you possibly know already) to be prepared for the changes to take place in the driving domain. National High School of Arts „Queen Mary” in Constanta, involved in the world campaign CO2nnect, is advancing some basic recomandations: • Do not race the engine more than necessary • Do not keep the engine on when waiting for someone or in traffic jam • Use good fuel and catalyzer Euro 4 • Make the technical review of the car, change the oil and the filters • Do not overload the engine at the traffic lights ... be calm when driving (consumption and emissions of a vehicle depends not only on its energy efficiency but also on driver’s behaviour). • Do not overcome the legal speed • For short distances, go on foot • Use air conditioning in the car, only if necessary We thank you you help us to live in a friendly environment !
