• Anticipate stopping; slowing down may eliminate the need to
stop
• Sudden or hard accelerations reduce fuel economy
• Slow down gradually
• Drive at moderate speeds
• Revving the engine before turning it off may reduce fuel economy
• The air conditioner may reduce fuel economy
• Warming up a vehicle in neutral on cold mornings is not required
