Ford vehicle fuel-saving features to use this Earth Day

What features can I use to save fuel for sustainable driving? 

Are you looking for ways to help the planet this Earth Day? By making use of fuel-saving features when you drive your Ford vehicle, you can cut back on fuel costs and save on emissions. Fewer emissions is a main goal of many on Earth Day, which is why many people choose to bike to work on Earth Day. However, you don’t need to bike to make a difference. Keep reading below to learn about Ford fuel-saving technologies with Sherwood Ford, your dealership in Sherwood Park, AB. 



How can Ford Eco Mode help you save on fuel? 

Ford Eco Mode assesses how you drive and helps you to become more fuel-efficient in how you operate your vehicle. Maneuvers like stopping fast and accelerating fast can waste fuel. Instead, this system will encourage you to be mindful of driving smoothly and efficiently.  

What is Ford Auto Start/Stop and how does it help fuel economy? 

Auto Start-Stop Technology reduces fuel consumption by switching off the engine whenever the vehicle isn’t moving. This may sound inefficient, but restarting the engine only takes a drop of fuel and can be done automatically when you press on the gas pedal. On the other hand, idling your vehicle can use more fuel over time.
