Sierra Mazda’s Guide to Green Driving: Part 1
Welcome to our ten part, Sierra Mazda Guide to Green Driving series…
Drivers are becoming increasingly aware of both the financial and the environmental costs associated with the vehicles and trucks they drive. Drivers seek to balance the utility we need from our car or truck against the expense of operating it (meaning the amount we pay for gas). We are also increasingly aware of the environmental “footprint” we leave behind when we drive. This guide gives you some tips about how to minimize both the financial and environmental cost of meeting your transportation needs whether you drive a Mazda or any other brand of cars.

This can be minimized in a number of ways without changing vehicles.
