Increasing fuel economy

Keep your engine tuned up.
Follow the recommended scheduled maintenance.
Keep the tires inflated to the correct pressure. Low tire pressure increases tire wear and lowers fuel economy.
Keep the wheels in correct alignment.

Improper alignment increases tire wear and lowers fuel economy.
Use the recommended viscosity engine oil.

(See “Engine oil and oil filter recommendation” in the “9. Technical and consumer information” section.)
