Fuel Saving Tips

Select The Right Drive Mode

Many of today's modern vehicles have multiple driving "modes", which are driver-selectable. Usually, there is an "Economy" or "Comfort" mode, which "tunes" the vehicle to better fuel economy -- such as shifts at lower RPMs and gradual throttle response -- while foregoing brisk acceleration and a "sporty," high-revving drive. Use it! These systems are typically smart enough to automatically supply brisk acceleration on-demand (via a firm accelerator push), if required in an emergency.
