  • Have your engine tuned regularly.
  • Follow the recommended maintenance schedule.
  • Make sure the tires are inflated to the correct pressure. Under-inflated tires wear faster and increase fuel consumption.
  • Make sure the wheel alignment is correct. Incorrect wheel alignment shortens tire life and increases fuel consumption.
  • Use oil with the viscosity grade recommended for your engine. See the "Engine Oil and Oil Filter Recommendations" section in the "Technical Data and Consumer Information" chapter of this manual.
