IMPORTANT FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT FUEL
ECONOMY AND HOW TO IMPROVE IT
How you drive . where you drive and when you drive an affect how many
mileslkilometers you can get from a gallon/liter of fuel. The careful attention you give your vehicle as far as maintenance and repairs 'are concerned 'will also help fuel economy. .
Fuel Selection
Use only unle8;ded gasoline meeting the octane ratings given under "Fuel Requirements" in "Starting and Operating," Section 2 of this manual. Unleaded
gasoline must be used for the, emission control system to operate properly. Its use will also reduce spark plug fouling , exhaust system corrosio n and engine oil
deterioration . Using leaded gasoline can damage the emission control system and could result in IO$S of emission warranty coverage.
"Jackrabbit" Starts
You can save fuel (and prolong engine and tire life) by avoiding fast starts away
from lights and stop Signs. . '
Stop-And·Start Driving
Frequent stops and starts while driving cut down on your miJesper gaUon
(kilometers per liter). Plan even your short shopping trips to take advantage of
through streets to avoid traffic lights. Pace your driving like the expert drivers
to avoid unneeded stops _and braking.
Sudden Stops
Sudden stops can also waste fuel; instead of moving the vehicle , the energy of fuel
is wasted as, heal in braking. Ene'rg'y in the form of fuel is also needed to accelerate
back to driving speed~
Excessive Idling
An idling engine uses fuel, too. If you're faced with more than a minute wait, and
you're not i,n traffic, it may be better to tum, off the engine and start again later.
Lubricants
A well~lubricated vehicle means less friction between moving parts. See the
Maintenan ce Schedule folder for
the_ proper lubrication intervals.
Air Cleane.r
Your vehicle receives its power from a mixture of gasoline and air. The air enters
the engine through the air cleaner. A-dirty air cleaner element lessens engine
performance and can waste
fuel. So, it's important to -replace the air cleaner
element (filter) at required intervals. (See the Maintenance Schedule -folder.)
