Poor Fuel Economy: Notes

NOTE: Fuel consumption can be increased during stop-and-go driving, trailer towing, short-run operation, extended winter warm-up periods, improper tire inflation, high speed driving, improper axle ratio and aftermarket add-ons. Determine if these factors are the cause of poor fuel mileage before proceeding with diagnostic procedure.
