Driving Tips
• Drive the speed limit. In most vehicles, you will achieve
optimal fuel economy between 45 mph and 60 mph.
• Drive a consistent speed.
• Brake and accelerate gradually and consistently.
• Avoid stop-and-go traffic and rush hour.
• Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal.
• Use the cruise control.
• Turn your vehicle off instead of idling for temporary stops.
• Combine small trips into one longer trip with multiple stops.
• Turn off the air conditioner and open your windows, unless
you are traveling at high speeds on the highway.
• Tighten your gas cap.
• Park in the shade or in the garage.
• Unload excess weight. Remove unneeded items from your
vehicle.
• Avoid carrying items on your roof. Remove rooftop carriers
and removable racks when not in use.
• Maintain the recommended tire pressure. Check tire pressure
regularly and before long trips.
• Keep your vehicle well-tuned, and follow the vehicle
manufacturer’s recommended maintenance intervals.
• Change your oil, oil filters, and air filters regularly.

biofuels when feasible, such as E85 and biodiesel.
