8 SIMPLE
STEPS TO
LOWER
FUEL
COSTS		 MAINTAIN AND REPAIR
YOUR VEHICLE
Regularly change lubricants and filters and replace worn components, i.e., spark plugs. Some vehicle repairs, such as replacing faulty oxygen sensors, may significantly improve fuel economy.		 OVERDRIVE GEARS
AND CRUISE CONTROL
Overdrive gears slow engine speeds, saving fuel and reducing wear. Cruise control helps maintain a constant speed, reducing fuel consumption.
USE THE RECOMMENDED GRADE
OF MOTOR OIL AND FUEL
To maximize fuel economy, use the motor oil and fuel recommended in your owner's manual.		 AVOID QUICK STARTS AND
AGGRESSIVE DRIVING
You'll save fuel and avoid unnecessary wear and tear.
PROPERLY INFLATE TIRES
Check tire air pressure monthly and before long trips, as proper inflation increases fuel economy up to 6%.		 CLEAN OUT YOUR VEHICLE
Unnecessary weight lowers fuel economy.
SLOW DOWN
Fuel economy decreases about 1% for each mph over 55, i.e., driving 65 mph vs 75 mph increases fuel economy about 10%.		 AVOID RUSH HOUR
AND COMBINE TRIPS
Stop-and-go driving burns more fuel, as does each time you start up a cold engine.

NOTE: The EPA fuel economy estimates posted on new vehicles and in the EPA/DOE Fuel Economy Guide are designed to allow consumers to comparison shop. Your actual fuel economy will probably vary from these estimates due to driving and vehicle maintenance habits, the use of air conditioning and other accessories, weather, road conditions, and other factors.
