Improving Fuel Economy
Vehicle Maintenance
A properly maintained vehicle
maximizes fuel economy. Poor
maintenance can significantly reduce
fuel economy. Always maintain your
vehicle according to the maintenance
messages displayed on the
information display (see Owner's
Maintenance Checks on page 417).
For example:
●
Use the required engine oil (see
page 420).
●
Maintain proper tire inflation －
An underinflated tire increases
‘‘rolling resistance,’’ which reduces
fuel economy.
●
Avoid carrying excess weight in
your vehicle － It puts a heavier
load on the engine, increasing fuel
consumption.
●
Keep your vehicle clean － In
particular, a build-up of snow or
mud on your vehicle's underside
adds weight and rolling resistance.
Frequent cleaning helps your fuel
economy.
Drive Efficiently
●
Drive moderately － Rapid
acceleration, abrupt cornering, and
hard braking increase fuel
consumption.
●
Observe the speed limit －
Aerodynamic drag has a big effect
on fuel economy at speeds above
45 mph (75 km/h). Reduce your
speed and you reduce the drag.
Trailers, car top carriers, roof
racks and bike racks are also big
contributors to increased drag.
