You can save fuel and get more miles from your
car if you follow these suggestions:
o Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate
rate. Don't make "jack-rabbit" starts or full-
throttle shifts and maintain a steady cruising
speed. Don't race between stoplights. Try to
adjust your speed to that of the other traffic so
you don't have to change speeds unneces-
sarily. Avoid heavy traffic whenever possible.
Always maintain a safe distance from other
vehicles so you can avoid unnecessary brak-
ing. This also reduces brake wear.
o Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you
drive, the more fuel your car uses. Driving at
a moderate speed, especially on the high-
way, is one of the most effective ways to
reduce fuel consumption.
o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal. This
can increase fuel consumption and also in-
crease wear on these components. In addi-
tion, driving with your foot resting on the brake
pedal may cause the brakes to overheat,
which reduces their effectiveness and may
lead to more serious consequences.
