Kill your engine when you're not moving

Turn your car’s engine off if you’re likely to be parked or stationary for more than a minute.

If you’re not moving anywhere, you’re just wasting fuel and creating emissions by keeping your car ticking over.

Zero miles to the gallon. Doesn't exactly sound like the most economical mileage rate does it? Yet that's exactly what your car is achieving whenever it is stationary with the engine still running.

Break the habit of keeping the engine ticking over in your car when you’re not actually moving anywhere.

Whether you’re stuck in stationary traffic or parked up waiting for a short time, if you’re likely to be stationary for a minute or more, switch your engine off until it’s time to move again.
