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
