HOW GREEN IS MY CAR!



For all Honda lovers, here's some good news: The completely redesigned 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid, the most economical and environmentally responsible gasoline-powered Civic ever, has been adjudged the least polluting car to drive in the world. Which means even if you are not driving one of those green cars, at least you own one that flaunts the word H...By the way, Honda City enjoys the tag of one of India's least polluting machines on the road!

We all know how you can save on gas by taking your time. Here's more on how to get the best out of your car...

Change your filters regularly. Changing just the air filter can increase your mileage by up to 10%. If you are automotively challenged, just ask the dudes at the oil change shop to do it.

Topping off your gas tank can increase the amountof ground-level ozone and other air pollutants. Fill 'er up, but don't go crazy, and we’ll all breathe a little easier.

Keep local waterways clean by checking for leaks under the car. Just a few quarts of oil can contaminate a million gallons of water.

Join a car coop and reduce your driving by over 50%.
