How to Get the Advertised Fuel Ratings For Your Car

(NC)-One of the questions consumers ask Natural Resources Canada the most is how to get the advertised fuel consumption ratings for their cars.


Consumers seem to think they're driving economically, but the numbers at the pump just don't add up. Follow these steps and watch your fuel economy take off:


. Consult your owner's manual for driving and maintenance advice for optimum performance and efficiency.


. Follow the manufacturer's suggested maintenance schedule.


. Check fluid levels at least once a month.


. Measure your tire pressure at least once a month.


. Avoid speeding.


. Use cruise control on the highway.


. Use your air conditioning sparingly.


. Avoid unnecessary idling.


. When possible, accelerate and brake slowly and smoothly.


. Remove unnecessary weight.


. Take off the roof rack.


. Leave your car at home or park partway to your destination.
