Buick Encore: Driving Information / Driving for Better Fuel Economy
Driving habits can affect fuel mileage. Here
are some driving tips to get the best fuel
economy possible:
- Set the climate controls to the desired
temperature after the engine is started,
or turn them off when not required.
- Avoid fast starts and accelerate smoothly.
- Brake gradually and avoid abrupt stops.
- Avoid idling the engine for long periods
of time.
- When road and weather conditions are
appropriate, use cruise control.
- Always follow posted speed limits or
drive more slowly when conditions
require.
- Keep vehicle tires properly inflated.
- Combine several trips into a single trip.
- Replace the vehicle's tires with the same
TPC Spec number molded into the tire's
sidewall near the size.
- Follow recommended scheduled
maintenance.

Exercise good judgment and do not let other
activities divert your attention away from
the road...
