Maximizing the VW Atlas Fuel Economy

A large SUV may not be as efficient as a compact SUV or a sedan, but just about every driver wants to reduce the amount of money that they spend on fuel. These tips can help you push the VW Atlas fuel economy as high as it can go:

• If you’re constantly accelerating and braking hard, you’re using more fuel than necessary. Pick up speed slowly and coast to a stop whenever you can, and you’ll go further on every tank of gas.
• If you have the option to do so, always drive on the highway. You’ll reduce the amount of fuel that you consume per mile—and highway driving also leads to slower rates of wear and tear.
• The heavier your vehicle, the more fuel you’ll need to propel yourself forward. For this reason, it’s a good idea to keep your cargo bay clear and travel light whenever you can!
