Driving
Control your speed and keep at a constant speed. Also, before stopping
at a toll booth or similar, allow plenty of time to release the accelerator and
gently apply the brakes. A greater am ount of electrical energy can be
retained when slowing down.
Use the air conditioning only when ne cessary. Doing so can help control
excessive gasoline consumption.
In summer: In high temperatures, use th e recirculated air mode. Doing so
will help to reduce the burden on th e air conditioner and reduce fuel con-
sumption as well.
In winter: Because the gasoline engine will not automatically cut out until
the gasoline engine and the interior of the vehicle are warm, it will con-
sume fuel. Also, fuel consumption can be improved by avoiding overuse of
the heater.
Make sure to check the tire inflati on pressure frequently. Improper tire
inflation pressure can cause poor fuel consumption.
Also, as snow tires can cause large am ounts of friction, their use on dry
roads can lead to poor fuel consumptio n. Use a tire that is appropriate for
the season.
Carrying heavy luggage can lead to poor fuel consumption. Avoid carry-
ing unnecessary luggage. Installing a la rge roof rack can also cause poor
fuel consumption.
