Ford teaches drivers how to be more green;














Ford has been implementing several different steps to teach drivers how to improve their driving habits and save money at the pump while making the environment cleaner. Ford's latest models which can be found at a Ford Dealership Horhsam have a number of fuel saving technologies and features that have set them apart from competitors. For the last 5-6 years, Ford has taken the initiative to produce and research greener engine technology and produced models that have won awards for their fuel economy and engine technology such as the Lincoln MKZ hybrid and other models. This model and other Ford models can be purchased from Ford Harrisburg dealerships.

Ford has focused more of its production efforts on green technology since 2008, and this technology can be found in models sold at Ford Dealer Avalon. Fuel economy is one of the biggest concerns for customers throughout the world, and in the United States gas prices are rising. Ford has made this a major priority as well, and as a result the company's latest models have been some of its most popular to date. Ford's models have sold well in spite of a rougher economic climate than in the past, and Ford has offered many different driving technologies to help ease the burden of costs at the gas pump.

Fuel economy can be improved through driving techniques that reduce gas waste. EcoMode is a coaching program that teaches drivers how to improve their fuel economy with real time feedback on the instrument LCD panel in some Ford models. Rewards are displayed when the driver engages in fuel saving driving techniques, and there is also a point system that is used. MyFord Touch has a program called EcoRoute which is a navigation system that calculates the most fuel efficient driving route. This technology has shown fuel savings up to 15 percent. There is another feature called SmartGauge which is an instrument cluster for hybrid vehicle owners. This offers feedback and rewards for fuel efficient driving and it shows different information such as fuel levels and battery levels remaining.
