How you operate your Mazda determines how far it will travel on a tank of fuel. Use these suggestions to help save money on fuel and repairs.
- Avoid long warm-ups. Once the engine runs smoothly, begin driving.

- Slow down on rough roads.
- Keep the tires properly inflated.

WARNING:
Never stop the engine when going
down a hill:
Stopping the engine when going
down a hill is dangerous. This causes
the loss of power steering and power
brake control, and may cause
damage to the drivetrain. Any loss of
steering or braking control could
cause an accident.
