Hyundai Petitions To Make August "National Fuel Efficiency Month"

Online, June 23, 2012 (Newswire.com) - St. Charles Hyundai is proud to be part of Hyundai's effort to declare August "National Fuel Efficiency Month". Hyundai is petitioning the U.S. government in an attempt make drivers more conscious of their gas usage during the hottest month of the year. To learn more about Hyundai's movement, visit their Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/Hyundai.

Hyundai has a long-standing reputation of creating some of the most fuel efficient vehicles on the market, so this movement seemed logical for them.

"As America's most fuel-efficient car company, we want to inspire people and show them how fuel efficiency can help their wallets and the planet at the same time, no matter what kind of car they drive," said John Krafcik, Hyundai North American CEO. "There's a day, week or month for just about everything else, so we feel the time is right for a national Fuel Efficiency Month to help shine a spotlight on the ecological and economic benefits here."

National Fuel Efficiency Month's goal will be to increase driver awareness in regards to fuel usage. The month will be sure to be filled with helpful hints to increase fuel economy, including things like: making sure tires are properly inflated, refraining from throttling the gas pedal and promoting use of cruise control on the highway. Hyundai believes that promoting awareness can benefit the environment, as well as drivers who will save money at the pump.

Hyundai's petition campaign kicked off at on World Environment Day with special events in many major cities, including: New York, Las Vegas, Austin and Chicago.
