Cars pollute while engines are switched off.
|
|
If you still own a car, you might be interested to know that leaving the car at home and catching public transport to work isn't as good for the environment as you would think.
According to a government report, cars pollute even while their engines are switched off. And the longer they go without being used, the more they pollute.
This is especially true in Australia; according to the report the phenomenon of cars producing hydrocarbons while switched off for lengthy periods of time, is heightened on hot sunny days.
To find out more, check out this story in The Sydney Morning Herald.

| Tip of the Month - Alto Fuel
|
|
The Suzuki Alto - with its remarkable fuel economy - is one of the most environmentally friendly cars on our roads.
And Suzuki has informed us that to ensure we get the maximum environmental benefit from the Alto, it's important to fill up using Premium Unleaded (95).
So remember, when filling up the Suzuki Altos, look for the unleaded fuel with the number 95* displayed on the bowser.
*95 relates to the level of octane in the fuel.
