MyGreenOil fuel additive is used to improve fuel
efficiency. They use a Maxus G10 diesel van, about three
years at around 90,000 mileage, with 13km per litre
average fuel consumption. The fuel consumption data
for the diesel van is shown in Table 1 and Figure 5.

Environmental Review

During our environmental review of EMARCO (see • Waste reduction
Annex A), we investigated areas such as: • Reduction of carbon emissions
• Usage of the van for transport • Environmental Education
• Energy Savings
• Areas of good practice Our findings are summarised as follows:
