How to maximize fuel efficiency for a Kia Soul?

I just purchased a brand new Kia Soul and I want to make sure I'm getting the best fuel efficiency possible. What are some tips and tricks I can use to optimize my fuel efficiency for my Kia Soul?

First and foremost, make sure you keep up with regular maintenance such as oil changes and tire rotations. This will ensure your Kia Soul is running at its most efficient.

In addition to regular maintenance, make sure you are using the correct type of gasoline for your Kia Soul. Using a higher octane fuel than what is recommended can actually decrease your fuel efficiency.

Another tip is to avoid idling for long periods of time. Idling for just 10 minutes can use up to a quarter gallon of gas, so try to turn off your engine if you anticipate being stopped for more than a couple of minutes.

Utilizing cruise control while driving on highways can also help improve fuel efficiency. It maintains a consistent speed, which can save fuel compared to constantly accelerating and decelerating.
