而石油危机、汽车尾气引起的环境污染接踵而至，绿色出行势在必行本文将从汽车的选购、使用等方面探讨实现绿色出行的方法，并给出建议关键词：汽车；绿色出行；环保1 The Selection of Car 1.1 TurbochargersAt first glance, a turbo sounds like the high-efficiency choice for both performance and economy. After all, it doesn’t drain engine power, but makes use of exhaust gases to rotate the high-speed turbine. Better yet, it comes into play only when needed-only when tromping hard on the gas pedal for a quick burst of extra power. That extra jolt sucks up plenty of extra fuel, however, as it shoves an oversized air/fuel charge into the engine. If rarely used, it might not hurt mileage much.1.2 Change Your MindA quick glance at the Environmental Protection Agency（EPA） ratings for cars available with a choice of manual and automatic transmissions makes it clear that manual gearboxes are the only choice for peak economy. Seldom does the city-driving estimate for automatic come closer than 2 to 3 mpg to the manual-shift figure. In some cases, the difference is similar on the highway; other automatics achieve better results, rivaling a “stick” when up to speed. Compare the figures before deciding, but remember that high mpg with a manual comes only when it’s shifted with some expertise.1.3 All-wheel DriveMany cars and minivans are available with all-wheel drive (AWD). The AWD systems in cars and minivans is intended as an all-weather traction aid, and not designed for off-road duty. AWD cars and minivans do tend to use more fuel than their 2-wheel drive counterparts. This is due less to any added drag placed on the powertrain by AWD as more to the 100 to 200 pounds the AWD system adds to the weight of the vehicle. But the fuel-mileage difference isn’t pronounced, and while AWD adds to the purchase price of the vehicle, it’s well worth considering if you frequently travel wet or snowy roads.1.4 Amenities and Fuel EconomyTo some people, comfort is a heated leather seat in the winter. Others take comfort in knowing they’re eking out every last mile from each gallon of gas they consume.Nearly every luxury amenity adds weight and drains power, both of which are the enemies of fuel economy-and performance. You’ll either drag down the efficiency of your engine, or have to shell out for a larger, less efficient engine designed to shrug off the extra strain placed on it by the following power convenience features.1.5 ColorsLight colors reflect sunlight and help keep the interior cool. Dark colors do the opposite. Color choice, then, affects the need to use the air conditioner or heater.1.6 Alternative FuelAlternative fuels, like biodiesel, allow an engine to run off of natural, renewable fuel sources like plant or animal oils. These oils, like peanut or vegetable oil, or even leftover french fry grease, have to undergo some processing to turn their fat into energy an engine can use, but once they do, they can power a regular diesel engine. One side effect is that as the car runs, it will smell like whatever type of oil was used to power it. 2 The Usage Mode of Car2.1 Limit Your Need for SpeedOne of the best ways to improve your fuel economy is to change the way you drive. Speeding, accelerating and braking hard can deplete efficiency by 33 percent, according to the EPA. The reason is clear ,when you stop, start or accelerate, your car has to overcome inertia. Inertia is the resistance an object has to a change in its state of motion. In order to get moving, or to stop, a car has to overcome inertia. You’ve probably heard that objects in motion tend to stay in motion, and objects that are stopped tend to stay stopped. That’s because of inertia.Overcoming inertia requires energy. When you’re talking cars and energy, you’re talking gas. You can use less energy to overcome inertia if you do it slowly. What would make you more tired: pulling a heavy wagon slowly from a stop to an all-out run, or pulling the same wagon immediately to a sprint? Pulling the w。
