How To Boost Your Fuel Efficiency : We're regularly being reminded of the impact our lifestyle have on the environment. Being environmentally-friendly can also wind up saving you money。
如何提高燃料效率：常常有人提醒我们要注意我们的生活方式对环境所造成的影响。而反过来，环保也能为我们省钱。
There are a number of things you can do to make sure you're getting the highest number of miles out of your tank of petrol, while simultaneously 1 lowering your emissions 2:
有很多方法都可以让你的燃料利用率达到最高，同时也能实现减排：
1.Improve your fuel economy, lower your CO2 emissions
提高燃料利用率，减少二氧化碳排放量。
2. Keep your tyres properly inflated 3 – if they're deflated 4 at all your car will find it harder to move, and as such will use more petrol in an effort to maintain speed. If one of your tyres is under-inflated by just two pounds per square inch, fuel consumption goes up by 1%。
轮胎的气要打足。如果一点儿都不充气，你的车动起来会很难，而如果这时还想保持一定的速度，那就会多耗油了。如果轮胎少冲2磅/平方英寸的气，耗油量就会上升百分之一。
3. Change the oil regularly to keep the engine ticking over at full efficiency。
定期换机油，让发动机全效率运行。
4.Don't cart a boot full of heavy stuff around unnecessarily – it's dragging you down and costing you money。
不要在不必要的情况下载着一车的重货跑-这样会给你的车造成很大的阻力，会更耗油。
5. Turn off the AirCon: it puts extra strain on the engine, which consequently guzzles 5 more petrol。
关掉空调：它会给引擎造成额外的压力，很费油。
6.Close the windows: it reduces the inherent aerodynamic sleekness 6 of your car, and can lead to a 10% decrease in fuel economy。
关上车窗：这能增强汽车的流线性，降低空气阻力，可以提高百分之十的燃料利用率。
7. Keeping your speed constant over long distances uses less petrol, so don't stop and start. Allow your speed to creep up – revving 7 the engine and causing the car to accelerate quickly is wasteful 8, as is speeding up to traffic lights and having to stop。
跑长途时匀速驾驶能省油，不要开开停停的。加速要缓-当高速行驶时遇到红灯需要停车时，过快加速会造成浪费。
8.Move up a gear as soon as possible – if traffic conditions allow, slip into a higher gear. You're at your most eco-friendly between 40 and 60 miles per hour。
尽快抬高车档-如果交通状况允许的话，把车档抬高。车速达到每小时40到60英里时最为环保。
9. Don't leave the engine to warm up in winter; you're burning petrol unnecessarily。
冬天的时候，不要让引擎空转，这是在不必要地费油。
10. Car share-split a journey with someone else – that's one less car on the road, ruining things。
和别人同乘一辆车-这样，路上就能减少一辆能够对环境造成污染的车了。
