INCREASING FUEL ECONOMY 6. Plan for the Shortest Route ● Utilize a map or navigation system to determine the best route to save time. 7. Avoid Idling ● Shutting off your engine when safe for stops exceeding 30-60 seconds saves fuel and reduces emissions. 8. Buy an Automated Pass for Toll Roads ● Automated passes permit drivers to use special lanes to maintain cruising speed through the toll and avoid stopping and starting. 9. Winter Warm Up ● Limit idling time to minimize impact to fuel economy. ● Vehicles typically need no more than 30 seconds of idling at start-up to effectively circulate the engine oil before driving. ● Your vehicle will reach its ideal operating temperature more quickly while driving versus idling. 10. Keeping your Vehicle Cool ● Park your vehicle in a covered parking area or in the shade whenever possible. ● When entering a hot vehicle, opening the windows will help to reduce the inside temperature faster, resulting in reduced demand on your A/C system. ● Keep your engine tuned up. ● Follow the recommended scheduled maintenance. ● Keep the tires inflated to the correct pressure. Low tire pressure increases tire wear and lowers fuel economy. ● Keep all the wheels in correct alignment. Improper alignment increases tire wear and lowers fuel economy. ● Use the recommended viscosity engine oil.
