The study breaks ground in driving efficiency research, evaluating how specific driving behaviors impact fuel consumption and emissions.

CMT and VTTI researchers found that safe drivers consume less fuel than risky drivers. On average, safe drivers are over 5% more efficient.

For a fuel-powered SUV, this translates to nearly 63 gallons of gasoline saved annually — a potential $193 in savings at current US gas prices ($3.06). 

The findings offer everyone interested in improving transportation safety and sustainability actionable insights.
