| 1. Avoid high speeds | As your speed increases, your aerodynamic drag increases in an exponential fashion. Driving 62 mph (100 km/h) vs 75 mph (120 km/h) will reduce fuel consumption by about 15%. |
| 2. Do not accelerate or brake hard | By anticipating the traffic and applying slow steady acceleration and braking, fuel economy may increase by as much as 20%. |
| 3. Keep tires properly inflated | Keep tire air pressure at the level recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. A single tire under inflated by 2 PSI, increases fuel consumption by 1%. |
| 4. Use A/C sparingly | When the air conditioner is on it puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used (by about 20%). The defrost position on most vehicles also uses the air conditioner.. |
| 5. Keep windows closed | Windows open, especially at highway speeds, increase drag and result in decreased fuel economy of up to 10%. |
| 6. Service vehicle regularly | Proper maintenance avoids poor fuel economy related to dirty air filters, old spark plugs or low fluid levels. |
