Driving

◆

Regular maintenance

● Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure frequently.

Improper tire inflation pressure can cause poor fuel economy.

Also, as snow tires can cause large amounts of friction, their use

on dry roads can lead to poor fuel economy. Use tires that are

appropriate for the season and road conditions.

● Use oil and fluid of the recommended quality, which affect fuel

consumption and the life of the vehicle. Also, check oil and fluid

periodically. (P. 291)
