Running Out of Fuel
*
[MC27500(ALL)08/96]
If your vehicle runs out of fuel, try to stop on level ground
away from traffic. Add at least one gallon (4 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.
[MC27600(ALL)01/96]
You may need to turn the ignition to START several times
before engaging the starter (leaving it in that position several
seconds each time) before the fuel system starts to pump fuel
from the tank to the engine.

Fuel Economy

[MC27800(ALL)01/96]
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).
[MC27900(ALL)01/96]
To calculate the fuel economy:
*
[MC28000(ALL)01/96]1.
Fill the tank completely and record the initial odometer
reading.
*
[MC28100(ALL)01/96]2.
Every time you buy fuel record the amount (in gallons or
liters) purchased.
[MC28200(ALL)01/96]3.
Divide the total number of miles that you have driven by
the total number of gallons that your vehicle has used. This
will give you the average numbers of miles per gallon.
[MC28300(ALL)01/96]
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.
