SUGGESTIONS FOR MORE
ECONOMICAL OPERATION
Your car's fuel economy is mainly dependent on your
style of driving. How you drive, where you drive, and
when you drive, these have an effect on how many
mites you can get from a gallon of gasoline.
To operate your car as economically as possible, use the
following driving suggestions to help save your money
in both gas and repairs :

1. Start gradually and accelerate gently
Fast starts and sudden bursts of speed and continuous
high-speed driving are the rnai n causes of poor fuel
economy. Best economy will result from gradual
acceleration, smooth driving and moderate cruising
speeds.
2. Avoid excessive and unnecessary idling
Idling and acceleration are times of greater fuel con-
sumption.
3. Keep ' your 'engine tuned up
Overall tuning can improve your car's gas mileage.
4. Do not race the engine
5. Use the air conditioner (if equipped) only when
necessary.
6. Slow down when driving on rough roads.
This will help keep the front end in alignment.
7. Always keep your tires inflated to the recommended
pressure for longer tire life and fuel economy.
Under inflation not only causes needless wear of the
tires, but can also waste gasoline.
