Driving for Better Fuel
Economy
Driving habits can affect fuel

Brake gradually and avoid
abrupt stops.

Keep vehicle tires properly
inflated.
.

single trip.

Distracted Driving
Distraction comes in many forms
and can take your focus from the
task of driving. Exercise good
judgment and do not let other
activities divert your attention away
from the road. Many local
governments have enacted laws
regarding driver distraction. Become
familiar with the local laws in
your area.
To avoid distracted driving, keep
your eyes on the road, keep your
hands on the steering wheel, and
focus your attention on driving.
