Green Corner: Tips for driving green

Making your car green will help Mother Nature out and could save you money in the long run.

• Change your air filter — cleaning your air filter regularly can improve your gas mileage significantly.
• Don’t speed — being a good driver can save you some dollars at the pump since speeding uses extra gas. Rapid acceleration and hard braking are also inefficient and lower your gas mileage.
• Cruise control is a great option too. Using your cruise control will keep you driving at a more consistent speed and generally improve fuel efficiency.
