You can take environmental stewardship seriously without getting rid of your car. Here are some essential steps to take to make sure you're driving green:
- Keep your car in good condition so you can be sure you're getting the best possible gas mileage. Adventure Subaru's service is second to none.
- Keep your tires inflated to the correct pressure.
- Carry what you need to carry. When you get back from that camping trip, get that gear out of your vehicle. Extra weight makes you use more fuel.
- Drive smoothly. Accelerating fast and braking hard uses more gas.
- Keep it to 60. Driving over 60 reduces fuel efficiency.
- Car pool, consolidate trips, and plan your drives to cover the smallest number of miles required.
When you drive a Subaru, you're ahead of the game before you even get in the car. Subaru is headquartered in a zero-landfill plant in New Jersey and produces vehicles in a zero-landfill plan in Illinois. Adventure Subaru has been recognized as an eco-friendly dealer. New Subarus use less lead, have fewer VOC (volatile organic compounds) emissions from painting, use less water in production, and produce less CO2.
And perhaps the top note in our green pedigree: 95% of all Subarus sold in the last decade are still on the road. That means less in the landfills and fewer resources needed to make new cars. When we all do our part, you can feel good about driving your Subaru.
