Your results will be most accurate if your filling method is consistent.<br />

Calculating fu<strong>el</strong> economy<br />

1. Fill the fu<strong>el</strong> tank complet<strong>el</strong>y and record the initial odometer reading<br />

(in miles or kilometers).<br />

2. Each time you fill the tank, record the amount of fu<strong>el</strong> added (in<br />

gallons or liters).<br />

3. After at least three to five tank fill-ups, fill the fu<strong>el</strong> tank and record<br />

the current odometer reading.<br />

4. Subtract your initial odometer reading from the current odometer<br />

reading.<br />

5. Follow one of the simple calculations in order to determine fu<strong>el</strong><br />

economy:<br />

Calculation 1: Divide total miles trav<strong>el</strong>ed by total gallons used.<br />

Calculation 2: Multiply liters used by 100, then divide by total<br />

kilometers trav<strong>el</strong>ed.<br />

Keep a record for at least one month and record the type of driving (city<br />

or highway). This will provide an accurate estimate of the vehicle’s fu<strong>el</strong><br />

economy under current driving conditions. Additionally, keeping records<br />

during summer and winter will show how temperature impacts fu<strong>el</strong><br />

economy. In general, lower temperatures give lower fu<strong>el</strong> economy.<br />

Driving style — good driving and fu<strong>el</strong> economy habits<br />

Give consideration to the lists that follow and you may be able to change<br />

a number of variables and improve your fu<strong>el</strong> economy.<br />

Habits<br />

• Smooth, moderate operation can yi<strong>el</strong>d up to 10% savings in fu<strong>el</strong>.<br />

• Steady speeds without stopping will usually give the best fu<strong>el</strong> economy.<br />

• Idling for long periods of time (greater than one minute) may waste<br />

fu<strong>el</strong>.<br />

• Anticipate stopping; slowing down may <strong>el</strong>iminate the need to stop.<br />

• Sudden or hard acc<strong>el</strong>erations may reduce fu<strong>el</strong> economy.<br />

• Slow down gradually.<br />

• Driving at reasonable speeds (trav<strong>el</strong>ing at 55 mph [88 km/h] uses<br />

15% less fu<strong>el</strong> than trav<strong>el</strong>ing at 65 mph [105 km/h]).<br />
