Go GREEN - Fuel Savings for Business Fleets

American businesses are becoming increasingly concerned about global warming and implementing green initiatives. FleetTraks will help you easily go green. The United States is responsible for a whopping 23 percent of all carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions worldwide, even though the United States is home to less than 5 percent of the world’s total population. A third of the USA’s CO2 emissions comes from transportation. For every gallon of gas burned, 20 pounds of CO2 are emitted into the atmosphere.

Maintain reasonable speeds.

Excessive speed is the largest single factor in wasting fuel. Reducing speed to a reasonable level of 60 mph will save significant expense. A general rule of thumb is that every mph increase above 50 mph reduces fuel mileage by 0.1 mpg. Once vehicles reach 70 mph, fuel economy drops by as much as 23 %.
