·           correct gear changing will save fuel and reduce your emissions

·           shift up a gear at 2,500 revs per minute (rpm) for petrol cars and 2,000 rpm for diesel cars

·           a vehicle travelling at 37 mph in third gear uses 25 per cent more fuel than it would at the same speed in fifth gearStop and start less
