FuelGood eco driving training
 

Got the opporchancity to do this via work today:

At worst it'd be a break from the desk- as it turned out, it was a good experience all round for both myself and my colleagues.

Details of the course are here:

my thoughts on it can be found here:

All in all, a good experience!:turtle:

Neat. I'm surprised that, being a regular around here, you were able to be coached into even more savings.

Then again, I suspect many of your colleagues had both (a) larger percent improvements, and (b) higher overall fuel consumption.

PS - what's block upshifting? Skipping a gear?

And what were you doing that was preventing the engine stop/start system from activating?

PPS - I think this kind of thing is fun:

I lost interest when I realised it was a diesel megane..
Seriously though, always room for improvement!

my "before" mpg was above most of the colleagues "after" mpg:turtle::D

so yep, they saw higher %mpg improvements

correct


old car habits die hard- a conked out car at lights is the worst nightmare of the jalopy driver!

that, and the instructor asked me to leave it running on the first run- so he could introduce it into the 2nd (so at least some of the saving was "gamesmanship")

there's no hope for some folk:thumbup:

Nice.

Bah! Stop/start alone probably accounts for a 5% improvement!
