Your vehicle's fuel economy depends     • Don't  "ride"  the  brake pedal.  This     • Keep  your  car  in  good condition.

you drive and when you drive.
can increase fuel consumption and
also increase  wear on these  com-
ponents.  In  addition,  driving  with
your foot resting on the brake pedal
may cause the brakes to overheat,
which  reduces  their  effectiveness
and may lead to more serious con-
sequences.
For   better    fuel   economy    and
reduced maintenance costs, main-
tain  your  car  in  accordance  with
the maintenance  schedule in  sec-
tion  7.  If   you  drive   your  car  in
severe  conditions,  more  frequent
maintenance is  required (see sec-
tion 7 for details).
Each  of  these  factors   affects  how
many miles (kilometers)  you can get
from a gallon (liter) of fuel.To operate
your vehicle as economically as pos-
sible, use  the  following driving  sug-
gestions to help  save money in both
fuel and repairs:
•  Take care of your  tires. Keep them     •  Keep your car clean. For maximum

sure. Incorrect  inflation, either  too
much or too little, results  in unnec-
essary  tire  wear.   Check  the  tire
pressures at least once a month.

kept  clean  and  free  of  corrosive
materials. It is especially important
that  mud,   dirt,   ice,  etc.  not   be
allowed   to   accumulate    on   the
underside  of   the  car.  This  extra
weight can result  in increased fuel
consumption and also contribute to
corrosion.
Drive  smoothly.   Accelerate  at   a
moderate  rate. Don't  make  "jack-
rabbit"  starts  or  full-throttle  shifts
and  maintain   a   steady  cruising
speed.  Don't  race  between  stop-
lights. Try  to adjust  your speed  to     •  Be   sure   that   the    wheels   are

possible.  Always  maintain  a  safe
distance  from   other  vehicles   so
you  can avoid  unnecessary  brak-
ing. This also reduces brake wear.
