Fuel EfficiencyThere are several factors that
contribute to your vehicle’s fuel
efficiency, including maintenance
of your vehicle, driving style,
environmental conditions, vehicle
weight and vehicle aerodynamics.
Below are tips on how to help
improve fuel efficiency:


OKeep your vehicle in good
condition with regular
maintenance


ODon’t let the engine idle longer
than necessary


ODrive at a moderate speed,
accelerating smoothly and at a
moderate rate


OKeep tires inflated to the
recommended pressure


OTravel lightly, without carrying
unnecessary weight in your vehicle


OAvoid placing large or heavy items
on roof racks


OAvoid hilly, winding or poorly
maintained roadsREMINDER: Driving range will vary depending
on your vehicle’s fuel tank size (e.g., 12 gal. vs. 24
gal.), even though the MPG may be the same.
For more information on Fuel Economy, refer to
the brochure “GET TING MORE OUT OF E VERY
GALLON, FUEL-SAVING TIPS TO DRIVE BY ”
