How Green Are You?

Eco-Awareness: Ready to extend your environmental consciousness from your home to the highway? You don't need to drive a hybrid to have a greener commute, you just need to take good care of your car. Getting regular tune-ups, keeping your air and oil filters clean, and emptying your trunk of unnecessarily heavy loads will help your vehicle burn less gas and create less pollution, no matter what kind of car you drive. And keep an eye on your wheels: Properly inflated tires increase fuel mileage up to 15 percent, and correct tire alignment maximizes fuel economy. Green up your road routine even more by combining several short-mileage drives and completing all your errands in a single trip; warmed-up engines generate much less pollution than cool engines. And when it's time for a washing, opt for a commercial car wash rather than DIY. Not only will you be able to scratch a task off your weekend chore list, but commercial washes use about 100 gallons less water per cleaning.; Take This Quiz
