Slow down gradually.

Driving at reasonable speeds (traveling at 55 mph [88 km/h] uses 15%
less fuel than traveling at 65 mph [105 km/h]).

Revving the engine before turning it off may reduce fuel economy.

Using the air conditioner or defroster may reduce fuel economy.

You may want to turn off the speed control in hilly terrain if
unnecessary shifting between the top gears occurs. Unnecessary
shifting of this type could result in reduced fuel economy.

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

Maintenance product

specifications and capacities

in this chapter.

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

scheduled maintenance information.

Conditions

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

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

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

Using fuel blended with alcohol may lower fuel economy.

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

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