Carbon Footprint So, have you switched to low energy light bulbs, started walking to the pub and stopped jetting away for your holidays … neither have I but there are some simple things that we can do that cost little and can help in the fight to save our planet. Much is said about turning off the odd light, not running the tap when cleaning your teeth etc but here is a simple check that may have a dramatic effect on both your carbon footprint and on your pocket. The attached checklist has a list of checks that will take about 30 minutes to complete at an Express Garage special inclusive offer price of only £29.95. A list of recommendations will be made based on this check that may vary from nothing required to highlighting fuel sapping problems that are haemorrhaging pollution and money. Whether your concern is for the planet or your pocket you know this makes sense. A few simple facts. - Clipping a kerb or hitting a pothole (can you miss them) can alter the tracking of any vehicle substantially. An out of track reading of 1/16th of an inch is the equivalent of dragging a tyre sideways for 100 feet in every mile driven. Imagine what that can do to your fuel consumption (sorry carbon footprint) and costs.
- Low tyre pressures vastly increase the rolling resistance of the vehicle therefore increasing fuel usage and impairing safety.
- Partially blocked filters increase emissions and reduce the engine efficiency.
- Faulty sensors can generate unseen fault messages without a warning light showing where the system has worked around a problem but is not at optimum performance.
- A lightly dragging brake again affects the rolling resistance of the car again increasing fuel usage and accelerating brake wear.
