Nissan Rogue (T33) 2021-Present Owner’s Manual & User Guide: Fuel Efficient Driving Tips

Follow these Fuel Efficient Driving Tips to help maximize fuel economy in your Nissan Rogue.

1. Use smooth accelerator and brake input.

• Avoid rapid acceleration and sudden stops.
• Apply the accelerator and brakes smoothly.
• Maintain a consistent speed and coast when possible.

2. Maintain steady speed.

• Look ahead to anticipate stops and traffic flow.
• Time your speed with traffic lights to reduce unnecessary stopping.
• Smoother driving improves fuel efficiency.

3. Use A/C efficiently at higher speeds.

• Under 40 MPH (64 km/h), open windows are more efficient.
• Above 40 MPH (64 km/h), using A/C is more efficient due to reduced drag.
• Use recirculation mode to reduce cooling load.

4. Drive at economical speeds and distances.

• Following posted speed limits improves fuel economy.
• Maintain a safe distance to reduce unnecessary braking.
• Anticipate speed changes for smoother acceleration.
• Select the proper gear range for conditions.

5. Use cruise control.

• Cruise control helps maintain steady speed.
• Especially effective on flat highways for saving fuel.

6. Plan the shortest route.

• Use maps or navigation to reduce travel time and distance.

7. Avoid idling.

• Turn off the engine when safely stopped for 30–60 seconds.

8. Use automated toll passes.

• They allow you to maintain speed through toll booths and reduce stop-and-go driving.

9. Winter warm-up.

• Limit idling to preserve fuel.
• Most engines need no more than 30 seconds of idling at startup.
• Driving warms the engine faster than idling.

10. Keep your vehicle cool.

• Park in shade or covered areas when possible.
• Open windows briefly when entering a hot vehicle to cool the interior faster.

Increasing fuel economy

• Keep your engine properly tuned.
• Follow the recommended maintenance schedule.
• Maintain correct tire pressure; low pressure reduces fuel economy.
• Ensure wheels are correctly aligned.

  Poor alignment increases tire wear and fuel consumption.

• Use engine oil with the recommended viscosity.
