Enhancing Fuel Efficiency in the Toyota Prius

I just bought a new Toyota Prius and I'm concerned about its fuel efficiency. Are there any tips or tricks to help maximize its fuel efficiency?

Hi Amanda, congratulations on your new Prius! The first step in maximizing your fuel efficiency is to make sure you keep up with regular maintenance such as tire pressure, oil changes, and air filter replacements.

In addition to maintenance, driving habits can greatly impact fuel efficiency. Try to accelerate and brake smoothly, avoiding sudden starts and stops. Also, using cruise control on the highway can help maintain a consistent speed and improve your Prius' efficiency.

Another tip is to remove any excess weight from your Prius. The lighter the car, the less fuel it needs to move. So consider removing unnecessary items from your trunk or backseat.
