For consistent results when filling the fuel tank:

• Turn the ignition off before fueling; an inaccurate reading results if the

engine is left running.

• Use the same fill rate (low–medium–high) each time the tank is filled.

• Allow no more than two automatic click–offs when filling.

Results are most accurate when the filling method is consistent.

Calculating Fuel Economy

Do not measure fuel economy during the first 1000 miles

(1600 kilometers) of driving (this is your engine’s break-in period); a

more accurate measurement is obtained after 2000 miles–3000 miles

(3200 kilometers–4800 kilometers). Also, fuel expense, frequency of

fill-ups or fuel gauge readings are not accurate ways to measure fuel

economy.

1. Fill the fuel tank completely and record the initial odometer reading.

2. Each time you fill the tank, record the amount of fuel added.

3. After at least three to five tank fill-ups, fill the fuel tank and record

the current odometer reading.

4. Subtract your initial odometer reading from the current odometer

reading.

5. Calculate fuel economy as follows:

Standard: Divide miles traveled by gallons used.

Metric: Multiply liters used by 100, then divide by kilometers traveled.

Keep a record for at least one month and record the type of driving

(city or highway). This provides an accurate estimate of the vehicle’s fuel

economy under current driving conditions. Additionally, keeping records

during summer and winter show how temperature impacts fuel economy.

In general, lower temperatures mean lower fuel economy.
