- Poor Fuel Economy
NOTE:
Driving styles may have a significant influence on fuel economy. Verify the concern before starting an in-depth diagnosis. If available, use the integrated diagnostic system (IDS) fuel economy test to verify a concern is present. The following external factors may contribute to poor fuel economy:
- stop and go driving
- incorrect tire pressure and size
- vehicle loads (such as trailer towing)
- extended winter warm-up conditions
- high speed driving
- incorrect axle ratio
- road/weather conditions
- aftermarket add-ons
- short run operations
- customer expectations
