Are there any tips for maximizing fuel economy in the Toyota Highlander?

I recently purchased a Toyota Highlander and I'm wondering if there are any specific driving techniques or maintenance habits that can help improve my fuel economy. I want to save money on gas and reduce my environmental impact.

Congratulations on your new Highlander, Emily! One tip for maximizing fuel economy is to keep your tires properly inflated. Underinflated tires can decrease your gas mileage by up to 0.3%. Also, try to avoid aggressive acceleration and braking, as this can use up more fuel. And make sure to keep up with regular maintenance, such as oil changes and air filter replacements, to ensure your engine is running efficiently.

Hi Emily, I've been driving a Highlander for years and have found that using cruise control on long highway drives can help save gas. It maintains a steady speed, avoiding unnecessary acceleration and deceleration. Also, avoid carrying excess weight in your vehicle, as this can decrease fuel efficiency. Happy driving!

Hi Emily, I'm a mechanic and I can tell you that using the recommended grade of motor oil for your Highlander can improve fuel economy by up to 1-2%. Other tips include using the recommended fuel type and avoiding idling for extended periods of time. Hope these tips help!
