1. Check Tire Pressure
   increase pressure by 2 psi higher than door sticker recommends
2. Keep Up with Maintenance
   Regular oil changes, filters, tune-ups and brake service keep your vehicle running efficiently
3. Get Regular Wheel Alignments
   Misalignment causes drag – your engine works harder and burns more fuel

    

4. Avoid Aggressive Passing
   Frequent passing on two-lane highways requires hard acceleration, putting your engine under heavy load and increasing fuel consumption
5. Use Seasonal Tires
   Winter and summer tires improve performance and reduces roll and resistance
6. Drive Smoothly
   Rapid acceleration and hard braking significantly increases fuel consumption
7. Limit Your Idling
   Idling wastes fuel – turn off your engine if you’re stopped more than a minute
8. Maintain a Steady Speed
   Cruise control ensures maximum fuel efficiency
9. Reduce Excess Weight
   Carrying unnecessary items forces your engine to use more fuel
10. Remove Roof racks When Not in Use
    They create wind resistance and reduce fuel efficiency on highways

BONUS TIP
If your fuel economy has dropped, it may be time for a professional inspection.
