Limit Idle Time We understand how tempting it is to let your car run for a few minutes before you head to work in the morning. Save fuel and avoid this practice. When your car is in idle, it is consuming fuel and getting 0 mpg, lowering your overall fuel-economy numbers. Manufacturers recommend warming your car up for just 30 seconds before you hit the road. 3. Combine Trips in Winter Weather Standard fuel-economy specs will see a 12% decrease when the temperature dips below 20-degrees. When you drive less than five miles in cold weather, that number increases to 22%. Combine trips and day-to-day errands whenever possible this winter and minimize the time that you drive with a cold engine. 4. Check Your Tire Pressure Did you know that tire pressure will decrease in cold weather? When this occurs, it will increase rolling resistance and have a negative impact on your fuel economy. Make sure to check your tire pressure regularly when the temperature dips and keep it at the recommended levels in order to maximize your fuel economy. 5. Warm Up Your Plug-In Hybrid While Charging If you drive a hybrid or plug-in hybrid like the 2017 Toyota Prius Prime, you can expect an even higher impact on fuel economy.
