Office of Energy Efficiency

The Natural Resources of Canada Office of Energy Efficiency has set up new websites "Auto Smart" with very interesting information about saving fuel money by changing habits of driving. One of the new access is a Calculator Calculate fuel consumption and CO₂ emmissions and everyone can have access by click on the following URL:

We did some calculation but you should find out yourself about your own car or for a new car you intent to buy.

Here are the excerpts from the Auto Smart Calculator:
