Your Driving, the Road, and
the Vehicle
Driving for Better Fuel Economy
Driving habits can affect fuel mileage. Here are some
driving tips to get the best fuel economy possible.
•
Avoid fast starts and accelerate smoothly.
•
Brake gradually and avoid abrupt stops.
•
Avoid idling the engine for long periods of time.
•
When road and weather conditions are appropriate,
use cruise control, if equipped.
•
Always follow posted speed limits or drive more
slowly when conditions require.
•
Keep vehicle tires properly inflated.
•
Combine several trips into a single trip.
•
Replace the vehicle’s tires with the same TPC Spec
number molded into the tire’s sidewall near the size.
•
Follow recommended scheduled maintenance.
Defensive Driving
Defensive driving means “always expect the
unexpected.” The first step in driving defensively is to
wear your safety belt — See Safety Belts: They Are for
Everyone on page 1-13.
{
CAUTION:
Assume that other road users (pedestrians,
bicyclists, and other drivers) are going to be
careless and make mistakes. Anticipate what
they might do and be ready. In addition:
•
Allow enough following distance between you
and the driver in front of you.
•
Focus on the task of driving.
Driver distraction can cause collisions resulting in
injury or possible death. These simple defensive
driving techniques could save your life.
