TIPS TO REDUCE YOUR VEHICLE EMISSIONS

Use a cleaning agent

As your car gets older and sees more use, harmful emissions deposits can begin to build up in the engine and exhaust of your car. This can reduce your car's efficiency, as well as increase your emissions. To resolve this, you can add a cleaning agent to your fuel or use premium fuel with these additives already in place, which may be the more expensive option.

Change your air filter

This is something that should be replaced more often, the more you drive, it can also differ based on the environment you tend to drive in. Once your air filter gets clogged, your engine's airflow is reduced meaning it's operating optimally. On top of this, it makes it easier for deposits to build up, increasing your emissions and potentially damaging your vehicle.

Reduce engine idling time

This can be especially challenging if you live in an area with high levels of congestion, where you're stuck in traffic for minutes, or longer. However, if that's the case, simply turn your engine off. According to the RAC, idling for even ten seconds wastes more fuel and causes more emissions than simply restarting your car.
