Real-world performance and tips for better efficiency
Many drivers see higher mileage on long highway trips with steady speeds, while city driving typically yields lower MPG. Regular maintenance and smart driving habits can help you approach the EPA estimates: keep tires inflated to the recommended pressure, follow the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule, use the recommended fuel grade, and avoid carrying unnecessary weight.
