6. Plan for the shortest route.
.
Utilize a map or navigation system to
determine the best route to save
time.
7. Avoid idling.
.
Shutting off your engine when safe
for stops exceeding 30-60 seconds
saves fuel and reduces emissions.
8. Buy an automated pass for toll roads.
.
Automated passes permit drivers to
use special lanes to maintain cruis-
ing speed through the toll and avoid
stopping and starting.
9. Winter warm up.
.
Limit idling time to minimize impact
to fuel economy.
.
Vehicles typically need no more than
30 seconds of idling at start-up to
effectively circulate the engine oil
before driving.
.
Your vehicle will reach its ideal
operating temperature more quickly
while driving versus idling.
10.Keeping your vehicle cool.
.
Park your vehicle in a covered
parking area or in the shade when-
ever possible.
.
When entering a hot vehicle, open-
ing the windows will help to reduce
the inside temperature faster, result-
ing in reduced demand on your A/C
system.

Improper alignment increases tire wear
and lowers fuel economy.

oil. (See “Engine oil and oil filter
recommendation” (P.10-7).)
