Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration.

Do not pump the accelerator and avoid racing the engine.
Avoid unnecessary engine idling.
Keep the engine properly tuned.
Keep the tires inflated to the correct pressure shown on the tire placard, which is located under the door latch on the driver's side. Low pressure will increase tire wear and fuel consumption.

Keep the front and rear wheels in proper alignment.
Avoid carrying unnecessary luggage or cargo.
