Subaru Forester: Driving tips / Fuel economy hints
The following suggestions will help to save
your fuel.
- Select the proper gear position for the
speed and road conditions.
- Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration.
Always accelerate gently until you
reach the desired speed. Then try to
maintain that speed for as long as possible.
- 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.
- Use the air conditioner only when
necessary.
- Keep the front and rear wheels in
proper alignment.
- Avoid carrying unnecessary luggage or
cargo.
