v4351_1271343610These days, car users are under pressure from all sides. Fuel costs keep on rising and vehicle-produced pollution is still growing. Yet drivers can genuinely save money on fuel, and minimise the effect of exhaust emissions along the way – and this book shows exactly how. Starting with advice on choosing an eco-friendly car best suited to a driver’s needs, the book moves on to consider the eco-pitfalls of four wheel drive and automatic transmissions – and how to reduce their impact. A comprehensive section provides detailed advice and encouragement on developing a money saving, eco-friendly and safer driving style, imparting hints and tips gained over a lifetime of economy driving experience. Helpful aspects of readily available technology are not forgotten, and there’s a revealing insight into current and alternative fuels – and the pros and cons of hybrids, electricity and hydrogen as fuels of the future. The book brings together the many and diverse threads which define cost effective, eco-friendly motoring today, in a friendly informal style. If your aim is to become a more efficient driver – and save yourself some money – everything you need to know is here.

With a little care, and applying efficient driving techniques, fuel consumption figures can be coaxed to levels not seen by most drivers. In his book, ‘The Efficient Driver’s Handbook’, Dave Moss diligently describes how this can be done. (PHOTO COURTESY REG BURNARD).

Fuel prices have increased massively since these wonderful pumps were in their heyday, so saving as much of the ‘liquid gold’ as possible makes a great deal of sense (apart from important environmental considerations). Dave Moss’s book ‘The Efficient Driver’s Handbook’ explains to readers how to save fuel and money.
