Increasing fuel economy
GUID-08316153-E8EB-4B1D-A83C-780DAE9E7643 - Accelerate slowly and smoothly. Maintain cruising speeds with a constant accelerator position.
- Drive at moderate speeds on the highway.
Driving at high speed lowers fuel economy.
- Avoid unnecessary stopping and braking.
Keep a safe distance behind other vehicles.
- Select a gear range suitable to road conditions.
- Avoid unnecessary engine idling.
- Keep your engine tuned up.
- Follow the recommended periodic maintenance schedule.
- 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.
- Air conditioner operation lowers fuel economy.
Use the air conditioner only when necessary.
- When cruising at highway speeds, it is more economical to use the air conditioner and leave the windows closed to reduce drag.
- Use the recommended viscosity engine oil.
