Eco-Friendly Driving Tips from OTA

As we welcome the crisp autumn air and changing leaves in Lanoka Harbor, NJ, it’s a great time to adopt eco-friendly driving habits. Not only do these practices reduce your carbon footprint, but they also help improve your vehicle’s fuel efficiency and lifespan. At OTA Car Care Center, we’re committed to helping you drive smarter and greener. Here’s how you can make your fall driving more environmentally friendly.

Eco-Friendly Driving Tips:

1. Maintain Proper Tire Pressure:
   Under-inflated tires create more resistance, which increases fuel consumption and wear. Check your tire pressure regularly and keep it at the manufacturer’s recommended level. OTA Car Care Center offers free tire pressure checks to keep you on track.

2. Schedule Routine Maintenance:
   A well-maintained engine runs more efficiently and emits fewer pollutants. Regular oil changes, filter replacements, and tune-ups reduce emissions and improve performance. Book a fall maintenance appointment to ensure your car is running at its best.

3. Adopt Smooth Driving Habits:
   Rapid acceleration and hard braking waste fuel and increase wear on your car. Accelerate gradually, coast to stops when possible, and maintain a consistent speed to improve mileage and reduce emissions.

4. Lighten Your Load:
   Extra weight in your vehicle can decrease fuel efficiency. Remove unnecessary items from your trunk and backseat to lighten the load and enhance your car’s performance.

5. Carpool and Combine Trips:
   Sharing rides with friends or colleagues and planning errands to minimize trips are excellent ways to reduce fuel consumption. Consider starting a carpool group for school drop-offs or work commutes.

6. Choose Eco-Friendly Products:
   Opt for biodegradable car wash soaps, recycled oil, and reusable air filters to reduce your environmental impact. At OTA Car Care Center, we can recommend eco-friendly products to help you maintain your car responsibly.
