Granite State Clean Cities Coalition

Granite State Clean Cities Coalition Supported by the U.S. Using less diesel and gasoline in our vehicles helps to reduce our nation’s dependence on foreign oil while improving our air quality.

GSCCC, administered by NHDES, works to support the goals of reducing dependence on foreign oil, and improving air quality, through the use of domestically produced, cleaner burning alternative fuels and other fuel reduction strategies. Department of Energy Clean Cities Program, the Granite State Clean Cities Coalition (GSCCC) seeks to reduce petroleum use in transportation through the use of dome

stically produced, cleaner burning alternative fuels and other fuel reduction strategies. A collaborative of over 100 public and private interests from all regions in New Hampshire, GSCCC is administered by the NH Department of Environmental Services, a State of New Hampshire agency. Alternative Fuel Vehicles that run on fuels such as electricity, natural gas, propane, biodiesel, ethanol and hydrogen can help reduce vehicle emissions, provide domestic economic benefits, and increase the energy security of the US by reducing our dependence upon foreign sources of petroleum. The stability of our transportation future, and perhaps even the nation’s economy, rests upon our ability to diversify the nation’s fuel sources and types.

With the unpredictability of gas prices many of you might be wondering how you can try to save more fuel while driving your car. Here are a few tips from the USDOE with savings that may help.

1. Drive Sensibly - Avoid aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration, and braking) Fuel Economy Benefit: 10%-40% ($0.45-$1.80/gallon)

2. Avoid hauling cargo on your roof unless necessary. Roof boxes that aren't being used can reduce fuel economy. Rear-mounted cargo boxes/trays are much more efficient. Fuel Economy Benefit: 2%-17% ($0.09-$0.76/gallon)

3. Remove excess weight. Using your trunk for storage may be reducing your fuel economy. Fuel Economy Benefit: 1%/100 lbs ($0.04/gallon)

4. Avoid excessive idling. Idling can use a quarter to a half gallon of fuel per hour, depending on engine size and air conditioner (AC) use. Fuel Cost Savings: $0.02-$0.03/min (AC off); $0.02-$0.04/min (AC on).

*Note: Cost savings are based on an assumed fuel price of $4.50/gallon.
