Warming up a vehicle on cold mornings is not required and may
reduce fuel economy.

Resting your foot on the brake pedal while driving may reduce fuel
economy.

Combine errands and minimize stop-and-go driving.

Maintenance

Keep tires properly inflated and use only recommended size.

Operating a vehicle with the wheels out of alignment will reduce fuel
economy.

Use recommended engine oil. Refer to

Lubricant specifications

in

this chapter.

Perform all regularly scheduled maintenance items. Follow the
recommended maintenance schedule and owner maintenance checks
found in your vehicle service maintenance section.

Conditions

Heavily loading a vehicle or towing a trailer may reduce fuel economy
at any speed.

Carrying unnecessary weight may reduce fuel economy (approximately
0.4 km/L [1 mpg] is lost for every 180 kg [400 lb] of weight carried).

Adding certain accessories to your vehicle (for example bug
deflectors, rollbars/light bars, running boards, ski/luggage racks) may
reduce fuel economy.

Using fuel blended with alcohol may lower fuel economy.

Fuel economy may decrease with lower temperatures during the first
12–16 km (8–10 miles) of driving.

Driving on flat terrain offers improved fuel economy as compared to
driving on hilly terrain.

Transmissions give their best fuel economy when operated in the top
cruise gear and with steady pressure on the gas pedal.

Close windows for high speed driving.

EPA window sticker

Every new vehicle should have the EPA window sticker. Contact your
dealer if the window sticker is not supplied with your vehicle. The EPA
window sticker should be your guide for the fuel economy comparisons
with other vehicles.
