Economy

Hints

Operational economy is one of the outstanding features of your DATSUN. By developing
the following good driving habits even greater economy may be attained.

1. Do not pump the accelerator. Gently depress until the desired speed has been attained

and then maintain that speed.

2. Always drive your car in the gear which properly suits driving conditions.
3. Maintain moderate speeds on the highway. Speeds above 50 MPH (80 km/h) will

considerably increase gasoline consumption.

4. Maintain a safe distance behind other cars. Avoid sudden stops. This will reduce wear

on brake pads and save fuel, as extra gasoline is required to accelerate back to driving
speed.

5. Excessive engine idling increases gasoline consumption.

6. Keep the tires at the recommended inflation pressures for longer tire life and fuel

economy.

7. Keep your engine tuned-up and follow the recommended periodic maintenance

schedule. This will increase the life of all parts and lower operating costs.

8. Check your tires regularly for abnormal wear. Wheels that are out of alignment cause

the tires to drag, resulting in premature tire wear and additional gasoline consumption.

9. Use the air conditioner only when necessary.

Normal driving saves fuel and money.

Severe driving wastes fuel and money.
