STARTING AND DRIVING
FUEL ECONOMY DRIVING
Driving Habits
The way in which a vehicle is being
driven is the one factor which has the
greatest influence on fuel consumption.
Correct driving saves fuel and reduces
vehicle wear. To achieve optimal running
economy, the driver should always
remember to:
• Start the engine correctly (especially
important in winter season).
• Maintain an even and correct speed.
• Keep the engine at its optimum
speed range.
• Use the correct uphill and downhill
driving technique.
Starting the Engine
Start the engine according to the
instructions in the operator's manual of
the engine manufacturer. A proper start,
especially during the cold season, saves
fuel and reduces engine wear. Sluggish
lube oil in the engine makes cold
starting more difficult. Therefore, it is
important to always use engine oil with
the correct viscosity. (For the sake of the
overall fuel economy, it is also important
to have the right viscosity of
transmission and rear axle oils.)
Avoid High Engine Speeds
High engine speeds mean high fuel
consumption. Erratic driving also
increases fuel consumption when the
vehicle is constantly accelerated and
slowed down. Avoid a higher
consumption by steady, even driving.
Refer to each engine manufacturer's
operator's manual for information on the
engine's optimum operating range.
Hill Driving Technique
Use the inertia of the vehicle to go over
the crest of a hill under reduced power.
Use gravity to help with acceleration
when going down the hill. Build up
speed before reaching the next uphill.
