ESSENTIALS OF GOOD FUEL ECONOMY<br />

Maintenance and Specifications<br />

Measuring techniques<br />

Your best source of information about actual fu<strong>el</strong> economy is you, the<br />

driver. You must gather information as accurat<strong>el</strong>y and consistently as<br />

possible. Fu<strong>el</strong> expense, frequency of fill-ups or fu<strong>el</strong> gauge readings are<br />

NOT accurate as a measure of fu<strong>el</strong> economy. We do not recommend<br />

taking fu<strong>el</strong> economy measurements during the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km)<br />

of driving (engine break-in period). You will get a more accurate<br />

measurement after 2,000 miles-3,000 miles (3,000 km–5,000 km).<br />

Filling the tank<br />

The advertised fu<strong>el</strong> capacity of the fu<strong>el</strong> tank on your vehicle is equal to<br />

the rated refill capacity of the fu<strong>el</strong> tank as listed in the Maintenance<br />

product specifications and capacities section of this chapter.<br />

The advertised capacity is the amount of the indicated capacity and the<br />

empty reserve combined. Indicated capacity is the difference in the<br />

amount of fu<strong>el</strong> in a full tank and a tank when the fu<strong>el</strong> gauge indicates<br />

empty. Empty reserve is the small amount of fu<strong>el</strong> remaining in the fu<strong>el</strong><br />

tank after the fu<strong>el</strong> gauge indicates empty.<br />

The amount of usable fu<strong>el</strong> in the empty reserve varies and should<br />

not be r<strong>el</strong>ied upon to increase driving range. When refu<strong>el</strong>ing your<br />

vehicle after the fu<strong>el</strong> gauge indicates empty, you might not be<br />

able to refu<strong>el</strong> the full amount of the advertised capacity of the<br />

fu<strong>el</strong> tank due to the empty reserve still present in the tank.<br />

For consistent results when filling the fu<strong>el</strong> tank:<br />

• Turn the engine/ignition switch to the off position prior to refu<strong>el</strong>ing,<br />

an error in the reading will result if the engine is left running.<br />

• Use the same filling rate setting (low — medium — high) each time<br />

the tank is filled.<br />

• Allow no more than two automatic click-offs when filling.<br />

• Always use fu<strong>el</strong> with the recommended octane rating.<br />

• Use a known quality gasoline, preferably a national brand.<br />

• Use the same side of the same pump and have the vehicle facing the<br />

same direction each time you fill up.<br />
