Running Out of Fuel
*
[SV11400(ALL)05/95]
If your vehicle runs out of fuel, try to stop on level ground
away from traffic. Add at least two gallons (8 liters) of fuel to
start your vehicle again. If your vehicle is not on level ground,
you may need as much as five gallons (20 liters) of fuel to start
it.
*
[SV11500(ALL)07/95]
You may need to crank the engine several times before the fuel
system starts to pump fuel from the tank to the engine.

Fuel Economy
*
[SV11700(ALL)07/95]
Fuel economy is an estimate of the efficiency of your vehicle
and can be calculated as Miles Per Gallon (MPG) or Liters Per
100 Kilometers (L/100K).
*
[SV11800(ALL)05/95]
To calculate fuel economy:
*
[SV11900(ALL)06/95]1.
Fill the tank completely and record the initial odometer
reading.
*
[SV12000(ALL)06/95]2.
Every time you buy fuel record the amount (in gallons or
liters) purchased.
*
[SV12200(ALL)07/95]3.
After at least three to five tankfuls, fill the fuel tank and
record the final odometer reading.
[SV12210(ALL)09/95]4.
Divide the total number of miles that you have driven by
the total number of gallons that your vehicle has used. In
metric, multiply the number of liters used by 100 and divide
the answer by the number of kilometers traveled. This will
give you the number of liters used per 100 km.
