with regular maintenance
•Don’t let the engine idle longer than
necessary
•Drive at a moderate speed,
accelerating smoothly and at a
moderate rate
•Keep tires inflated to the
recommended pressure
•Travel lightly, without carrying
unnecessary weight in your vehicle
•Avoid placing large or heavy items on roof racks
•Avoid hilly, winding or poorly maintained roads
REMINDER: Driving range can vary depending on your vehicle’s fuel tank size, e .g ., 12-gal . vs . 24-gal ., even though the MPG may be the same
