I just came across this brief post that finally clarifies what it is to be an eco-driver. Basically it means doing what you can to save fuel.
The techniques in this post all make sense really. Far too many people use their cars for a quick trip to their local shops, or to take the kids to school when they could easily walk, and maybe work off a few excess pounds.
Times are changing for motorists as new fuel technologies are actually beginning to be seen on the roads. Hybrid vehicles (using conventional fuel in conjuntion with battery powered electric motors) are quite commonplace and it looks like fuel cell technology will be used by Mercedes and Honda by about 2010.
But most of us could be doing a lot more to save fuel, save emissions and contribute less towards global warming by following some of these basic eco-driving steps.
