My car's fuel efficiency is not up to the standards I set for myself, but I don't want to sacrifice performance. Are there ways to increase vehicle fuel efficiency without reducing emissions?

Yes, there are ways to increase vehicle fuel efficiency without reducing emissions. One way is to switch to alternative energy sources such as compressed natural gas or electricity. Another way is to utilize technologies such as aerodynamic drag reduction and coasting which can help improve fuel efficiency by up to 15-20%. Additionally, some vehicles now come equipped with automatic Start/Stop systems that shut off the engine at idle, improving fuel efficiency up to 25-35%.

Yes, there are ways to increase vehicle fuel efficiency without reducing emissions. First, drive in a way that is more efficient. Avoid using gears low and downshift often–aim for quick bursts of acceleration instead and use the highest gear possible. Second, install technologies that can improve fuel efficiency – a throttle position sensor, a boost converter and an Exhaust Gas Recycle system could help improve your car's fuel economy up to 15%-20%. Thirdly, make sure your car is regularly maintained —proper oil level contributes substantially to fuel saving. Lastly,
installing an electric motor as an auxiliary power source can also help optimize your car's performance while improving its overall fuel economy further.
