Drive Wise

1. Reduce automobile use. Whenever possible walk, bike, car or van pool or use mass transit. 22 lbs. of CO2 is saved per gallon of gas saved.

2. Maintain your vehicle. Keep tires properly inflated, replace filters and keep tuned.
3. Don't top off gas or overfill tank. Avoid spilling gas at the fuel pump by carefully placing and removing the hose and nosle.
4. Combine trips. More cold starts mean more emissions.
5. Avoid idling, rush-hour traffic and use cruise control. Turn engine off, save fuel and keep air clean.
6. Purchase a fuel efficient or electric vehicle. Drive your newer car on long trips for better emission control.
7. Park in the shade when possible. Avoid evaporative emissions from your sun-heated gas tank.
8. Report smoking vehicles. 1-800-END-SMOG
