Traveling for the Holiday Season?  Here are some ‘Green Tips’ to consider:

Turn your ignition off when you will be stopped or parked for more than thirty seconds.  Idling for more than thirty seconds burns more gas than it takes to restart the engine or than if the car were moving, and thus produces more toxic emissions.

Use the lowest-octane gas recommended for your car.  Only one in ten cars produced since 1982 require high-octane gasoline, and high-octane gasoline releases a higher concentration of toxic compounds into the air than the lowest octane gasoline.

Keep your vehicle tuned up.  A well-tuned engine will conserve gas and reduce the toxic emissions produced by your engine.
