ESSENTIALS OF GOOD FUEL  ECONOMY
Measuring techniques
Your best source  of information about  actual fuel economy is  you, the
driver. You must  gather information as  accurately and consistently as
possible. Fuel expense,  frequency of fill-ups  or fuel gauge readings  are
NOT accurate as  a measure of  fuel economy. We do  not recommend
taking fuel economy  measurements during the  first 1,600 km (1,000
miles) of driving  (engine break-in period).  You will get a  more accurate
measurement after 3,000  km5,000 km (2,000  miles-3,000 miles).
Filling the tank
The advertised fuel  capacity of the  fuel tank on your  vehicle is equal  to
the rated refill  capacity of the  fuel tank as listed  in theRefillcapacities
section of this  chapter.
The advertised capacity  is the amount  of the indicated capacity  and the
empty reserve combined.  Indicated capacity is  the difference in the
amount of fuel  in a full  tank and a tank  when the fuel  gauge indicates
empty. Empty reserve  is the small  amount of fuel remaining  in the fuel
tank after the  fuel gauge indicates  empty.

For consistent results  when filling the  fuel tank:
Turn the engine/ignition  switch to the  off position prior to  refueling,
an error in  the reading will  result if the engine  is left running.
Use the same  filling rate setting  (low—  medium—   high) each time
the tank is  filled.
Allow no more  than 2 automatic  click-offs when filling.
