Keep a record for at least a month. This will
give you a more accurate estimate than
figuring the fuel economy based on only one
or two readings.
*
[SV13535(ALL)04/95]
3. Divide the total number of miles that you
have driven by the total number of gallons
that your vehicle has used. In metric,
multiply the number of liters used by 100
and divide the answer by the number of
kilometers traveled. This will give you the
number of liters used per 100 km.

Comparisons With EPA Fuel Economy
Estimates
*
[SV13545(ALL)03/95]
EPA fuel economy figures are obtained from
laboratory tests under simulated road conditions
and thus are estimates which may not reflect the
actual conditions you experience or your style of
driving. In addition to your individual driving
habits, optional equipment such as air
conditioning can have substantial effects on fuel
economy. Other factors that may affect fuel
economy include vehicle load and tire inflation
pressure. The EPA fuel economy estimate is not
a guarantee that you will achieve the fuel
economy shown.
*
[SV13555(ALL)03/95]
Improving Fuel Economy
*
[SV13561(ALL)02/95]
Fuel economy is affected by a number of
variables which can reduce efficiency. You can
improve fuel economy by understanding these
variables and minimizing their effect.

About Your Battery
*
[SV20001(ALL)02/95]
Your vehicle may have a Motorcraft
maintenance-free battery. When the original
equipment battery is replaced under warranty, it
may be replaced by a Motorcraft
Low-Maintenance Battery.
[SV20850(ALL)04/95]
Because your vehicle's engine is electronically
controlled by a computer, some control
conditions are maintained by power from the
battery. If you ever disconnect the battery or
install a new battery, you must allow the
computer to ªrelearnº its idle conditions before
your vehicle will drive properly. To begin this
process, put the gearshift in P (Park), set the
parking brake, turn off all the accessories, and
start the vehicle. Bring the engine to normal
operating temperature. Allow the engine to idle
for one minute in N (Neutral) and one minute in
Drive or Overdrive. Perform the previous
procedure with the air conditioning on and off
(conditions permitting). The relearning process
will complete automatically as you drive the
vehicle.
*
[SV21000(ALL)03/95]
If you do not let the engine relearn its idle, the
idle quality of your vehicle may be adversely
affected until the idle is relearned. Your vehicle
will eventually relearn its idle while you drive
it, but it takes much longer than if you use the
previous procedure.
