How do I maintain optimal fuel efficiency in my Kia Niro?

I just purchased a Kia Niro and want to make sure I am getting the best fuel efficiency possible. Are there any specific maintenance tasks or driving habits I should be aware of?

Hi Mary, congratulations on your new Kia Niro! To maintain optimal fuel efficiency, it is important to follow the recommended maintenance schedule for your vehicle. This includes regular oil changes, tire rotations, and air filter replacements.

In addition to regular maintenance, there are some driving habits you can adopt to improve fuel efficiency. These include avoiding rapid acceleration and braking, maintaining a steady speed, and avoiding excessive idling.

Another tip for maintaining fuel efficiency is to keep your vehicle as light as possible. Avoid carrying unnecessary items in your car and try to keep your gas tank at least half full to reduce weight.

Finally, make sure to use the correct grade of gasoline for your Kia Niro. Using a higher octane gasoline than recommended will not provide any additional benefits and will only result in a waste of money.
