Living green, save the planet and Earth Day. These are all phrases that we have become familiar with over the past couple of years. A few more words that you may have heard that just started to evolve might include hybrid diesel, Peugeot, electric cars, and Volkswagen. Why are these words so prominent in today's society? It is because gas prices are on the rise and so is air pollution. We are striving to find vehicles that offer the best gas mileage as well as the healthiest choice for our earth. So, what exactly is a hybrid diesel? Hybrid diesel is a vehicle that is eco-friendly and will soon be in the top spot of the green-car market. A hybrid diesel is a mix between diesel fuel and electric to power the vehicle.

You can find many vehicles that offer this type of power. Trains, towing trucks, and everyday drivers are offering hybrid diesel. Some manufactures that produce these vehicles are Volkswagen followed by Peugeot. Peugeot is the number one manufacturer of mopeds and scooters in Europe today. If you just need to travel a short distance to get to your destination you might want to consider a moped. Peugeot is also attempting to produce a hybrid diesel car that can get up to 82 mpg. How would you like to drive one of those cars? Volkswagen has been known for many years to produce vehicles that have high fuel mileage.

Even if you do purchase a Peugeot or Volkswagen, you still need to do your part in maintaining your vehicle. Routine oil changes are a must. You want to check the oil every time you fill up at the pump to make sure youâ??re not burning any oil. Check the air filters to make sure that the filters are not clogged with dirt and other debris. A clogged air filter will cause less air to enter the engine with will prevent your engine from running properly. You will also want to rotate the tires when needed and check the PSI in each tire every time you fill up the fuel. If you are able to get 82 mpg you might want to check the tires when your tank is half full as well as when you fill up. Why is this so important? If your tires are low on pressure then the car has to work over time to spin the tires. This causes more fuel to be burned up. Check the fluids in your car whenever you are filling your car with fuel, also.

You can also increase your gas mileage on your hybrid diesel by the way you drive. Driving with extreme road rage can reduce your gas mileage as well as put you in danger. Aggressive driving puts extra pressure on the engine which causes your engine to work extra hard and burn more fuel. Driving the speed limit and using cruise control can help you get the most mpg. Avoid braking fast and flooring the accelerator pedal. Try to do every transaction as smoothly as possible. When you are driving you will want to put your vehicle in overdrive or in the highest gear possible if you have a manual transmission. Just drive your car the way it was meant to be driven and you will have the results that are promised to you.
