Probably the VERY greatest reduction in fuel consumption in Europe would be to dismantle the EU it has done so much damage to EUrope & has been so incredibly profligate in use of fuel even Barrosso drives a VW Taureg for instance, huge travel requirements of a massive centralised & undemocratic bureaucracy. Propaganda films like this from the EU are an obscenity when it moves its pretend parliament and all its parasites from Brusells to Strasbourg monthly & uses fuel to heat its empty buildings!

Car is ok in countryside, but cities are better with bicycles and public transportation. In cities cars should be only allowed for transportation of handicapped, children, old people and pregnant women.Adult men and women don't really need these moving sofas in cities.

You don't live in the UK do you. Public transport is more expensive than car travel even with the recent fuel increases.

Drive gently and politely. Avoid jams, get up early in the morning, get to know your preferred route well and do not drive like taxi drivers. Bu any way Don't worry, be happy driving!

States should ban the use of cars in the center of the cities. And we should change our habbits, cars must be used only for long distances and when traveling. More efficient means of public transportation inside the cities is a solution.

This kind of news comes out once every few years.It is poorly made and here are the reasons:1) If you don't warm-up the engine and circulate the oil before driving it won't last very long, especially in sub-zero weather2) It is more energy-efficient to open the windows at low speed, but it is more energy-efficient to use the AC at higher speed3) You should use the gear that keeps the engine in torque not the highest, you'll save on gas

Use public transport.

this might sound like a solution here on European soil, but how about forcing the car-makers to make their engines much more fuel efficient? why not advise consumers to buy eco-friendly cars, like the Prius?
