conditions, vehicle weight
and vehicle aerodynamics
Below are tips on how to help
improve fuel efficiency:
• Keep your vehicle in good
condition 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 vehicles
• Avoid placing large or heavy items on roof racks
• Avoid hilly, winding or poorly maintained roads
REMINDER: Driving range will vary depending on your vehicle’s fuel tank size, e g 12-gal vs 24-gal , even though the MPG may be the same
