FIAT Beats the Credit Crunch
We’re all feeling the pinch lately and the next 18 months are going to be far worse apparently. But before you start collecting your own firewood and wearing your suits inside out to save on washing, Fiat has a far better solution – learn to drive properly.
Ok, they didn’t actually say that but that is what their new eco:Drive device gets you to do. You’ll all be protesting that you’re excellent drivers but are your gear changes really as efficient as they could be and what’s all that slowing down and speeding up lark on the motorways – does it really get you anywhere any quicker? Better check with the Big Brother guy at Fiat who’s available online at: www.fiat.com/ecodrive. He’ll tell you all about how plugging any USB key into the Blue&Me communications port on your Fiat will allow eco:Drive to record detailed information about the vehicle’s efficiency and your driving style during a journey. When you’ve finished driving just plug the USB in to your computer and see how you’ve done.
