Did you know?

• There are over 500 million automobiles on Earth today that burn an average of 2 gallons of fuel each day.
   
• The most inefficient use of fuel? Vehicle idling. This eco-unfriendly habit receives zero miles a gallon.
   
• Idling for one hour burns nearly one gallon of gasoline.
   
• Idling for 10 seconds uses the same amount of gas as restarting your car.
   
• Every gallon of gas used per day produces 19 pounds of carbon dioxide.
   
• A poorly maintained engine uses up to 15 % more energy when idling than a well-tuned vehicle.
   
• Keeping your vehicle in good condition is crucial to higher fuel efficiency and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
   
• Vehicle upkeep, such as maintaining tires, air filters and engine oil, can increase fuel efficiency by up to 10%.
   
• Driving at a moderate speed can exponentially increase fuel economy. Reducing speeds from 70 to 55 mph can increase fuel economy by 15%.

Teletrac believes acting in an environmentally responsible manner extends beyond the abilities of our products and services—this principle should reflect the way we do business.
