Get the Best Fuel Economy When You Utilize These Few Tips
1. Use smooth acceleration and braking. According to the
United States Department of Energy, aggressive driving
can lower your gas mileage by up to 33 percent at highway
speeds and 5 percent in the city.
2. Carry the bare essentials. The Department of Energy
estimates that an extra 100 pounds in your vehicle could
reduce your fuel economy by up to two percent.
3. Seasonal fuel makes a difference. Winter fuel contains
slightly less energy than summer fuel, so the fuel blend you
fill up with can impact your efficiency.
4. Idling burns fuel, too. You can burn up to half a gallon
(1.9 liters) of fuel per hour while idling. Minimize your
morning warm-up and parking lot waits to get the most out
of filling your tank.
5. Avoid extreme temperatures. Find a shady or sheltered spot
to help keep your lithium-ion battery operating efficiently,
and minimize the amount of energy required to heat or cool
your cabin temperature.
6. Use fewer accessories. Heated seats, the rear defroster, the
air conditioner and other power features draw electrical energy.
When you operate your accessories, you may notice that the
gasoline engine needs to start. Check out your “Accessory
Power” screen in your SmartGauge to see how much electricity
is being used to power your vehicle’s accessories.
7. Check your tires. Proper tire inflation helps you improve
your fuel economy by up to 3.3 percent, according to the
Department of Energy, while underinflation could lower
your fuel economy by 0.3 percent for every 1 psi drop in
pressure of all four tires. Check your vehicle’s door sticker for
recommended cold tire inflation pressure.
