Fuel Economy

[MC32852(R)01/96]
Fuel economy is an estimate of the efficiency of your vehicle
and can be calculated as Miles Per Gallon (MPG) or Liters Per
100 Kilometers (L/100K).
*
[MC32854(R)01/96]
To calculate fuel economy:
*
[MC32856(R)01/96] 1. Fill the tank completely and record the initial odometer
reading.
*
[MC32858(R)01/96] 2. Every time you buy fuel record the amount (in gallons or
liters) purchased.
*
[MC32860(R)01/96] 3. After at least three to five tankfuls, fill the fuel tank and
record the final odometer reading.
*
[MC32862(R)01/96] 4. Divide the total number of miles that you have driven by
the total number of gallons that your vehicle has used. In
metric, multiply the number of liters used by 100 and divide
the answer by the number of kilometers traveled. This will
give you the number of liters used per 100 km.

Comparisons With Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) and Transport Canada (TC) Fuel Economy
Estimates
*
[MC32950(R)05/96]
EPA fuel economy figures are obtained from laboratory tests
under simulated road conditions and may not reflect the actual
conditions you experience or your style of driving. The EPA
fuel economy estimate is not a guarantee that you will achieve
the fuel economy shown.

Improving Fuel Economy
*
[MC33010(R)01/96]
Fuel economy is affected by a number of variables which can
reduce efficiency. You can improve fuel economy by
understanding these variables and minimizing their effect.
