8 Eco-Driving Habits You Can Apply Today

Driving efficiently isn’t just good for your wallet—it’s great for the planet too! By adopting a few simple habits, you can reduce fuel consumption, lower CO₂ emissions, and make every journey more sustainable. Here are eight practical tips to help you drive smarter:

Check tire pressure regularly

Properly inflated tires reduce friction and save fuel by minimizing the contact area. Check your tire pressure at your nearest TotalEnergies service station.

Maintain fluid levels and engine lubrication

A well-lubricated engine runs more efficiently and requires less energy to move its components, which reduces fuel consumption. Quartz Lubricants meet major manufacturers’ strictest requirements to help you optimize your engine performance. Ask for Quartz Lubricants at your nearest TotalEnergies service station.

Drive at a reasonable speed and avoid aggressive driving

Sudden acceleration and hard braking waste fuel and increase emissions.

Shift gears as soon as possible when you accelerate and keep engine RPM between 3000–3500

Higher gears are more fuel-efficient.

Anticipate traffic ahead

Traffic anticipation and smooth driving reduce unnecessary acceleration and braking.

Start driving immediately after starting the engine and turn it off if parked for more than a minute

Modern engines allow you to drive as soon as you start the car, helping decrease fuel consumption.

Remove unnecessary weight and keep windows closed at high speed

Extra load and air resistance make your engine work harder and increase fuel consumption.

Use air conditioning moderately and park in the shade

Excessive A/C use increases fuel consumption.
