Try to maintain a constant speed.
Every time you slow down and
speed up, your vehicle uses extra
fuel. Use cruise control when
appropriate.
Wind resistance causes vehicles to
use more fuel at higher speeds.
Driving at moderate speeds on the
highway also reduces wind
resistance and conserves fuel.
The current fuel mileage display
allows you to monitor your fuel
mileage and adjust your driving
habits to save fuel.
Combine several short trips into
one.
The air conditioning puts an extra
load on the engine which makes it
use more fuel. Use the fresh-air
ventilation when possible.
Fuel Economy
You may notice that using the A/C
causes a greater drop in fuel
economy than you are used to in
other vehicles. Although the amount
of extra fuel used by the A/C load on
the engine is no greater than other
vehicles, it is more noticeable
because of your Civic Hybrid's
excellent fuel mileage. Using the
A/C in hot weather may result in
fuel economy that is lower than
expected.
