Conditions

• Heavily loading a vehicle or towing a trailer may reduce fuel economy

at any speed.

• Carrying unnecessary weight may reduce fuel economy (approximately

0.4 km/L [1 mpg] is lost for every 180 kg [400 lb] of weight carried).

• Adding certain accessories to your vehicle (for example bug

deflectors, rollbars/light bars, running boards, ski/luggage racks) may

reduce fuel economy.

• Fuel economy may decrease with lower temperatures during the first

12–16 km (8–10 miles) of driving.

• Driving on flat terrain offers improved fuel economy as compared to

driving on hilly terrain.

• Transmissions give their best fuel economy when operated in the top

cruise gear and with steady pressure on the gas pedal.

• Four-wheel-drive operation (if equipped) is less fuel efficient than

two-wheel-drive operation.

• Close windows for high speed driving.

Flex fuel (E-85) cruising range

Because E-85 fuel contains less energy per gallon than gasoline, you will

experience an increase in fuel consumption. You can expect your Miles

Per Gallon (MPG) and your driving range to decrease by about 30%

compared to gasoline operation.

EPA window sticker

Every new vehicle should have the EPA window sticker. Contact your

dealer if the window sticker is not supplied with your vehicle. The EPA

window sticker should be your guide for the fuel economy comparisons

with other vehicles.

It is important to note the box in the lower left corner of the window

sticker. These numbers represent the Range of L/100 km (MPG)

expected on the vehicle under optimum conditions. Your fuel economy

may vary depending upon the method of operation and conditions.
