HOW TO SAVE FUEL AND MAKE
YOUR VEHICLE LAST LONGER
Improving fuel economy is easy − just take it easy. It will help
make your vehicle last longer, too. Here are some specific tips
on how to save money on both fuel and repairs:
D Keep your tires inflated at the correct pressure. Check
the pressure every two weeks, or at least once a month.
Underinflation causes tire wear and wastes fuel.
D Do not carry unneeded weight in your vehicle. Excess
weight puts a heavier load on the engine, causing greater
fuel consumption.
D Avoid lengthy warm−up idling. Once the engine is
running smoothly, begin driving − but gently. Remember,
however, that on cold winter days this may take a little
longer.
D Accelerate slowly and smoothly. Avoid jackrabbit starts.
D Avoid long engine idling. If you have a long wait and you
are not in traffic, it is better to turn off the engine and start
again later.
D Avoid engine over−revving. Use a gear position suitable
for the road on which you are traveling.
D Avoid continuous speeding up and slowing down.
Stop−and−go driving wastes fuel.
