Saving fuel while driving (BMW 5 Series E39)

Driving style has a significant impact on fuel economy. Below are some rules for handling the accelerator pedal with care.

• After starting the engine, start driving immediately, even in freezing temperatures.
• Turn off the engine if the expected duration of the stop is more than 40 seconds.
• If possible, drive in higher gears.
• On long stretches, drive at a uniform speed if possible, avoiding high speeds. Predict the traffic situation. Do not brake unnecessarily.
• Do not transport unnecessary loads; if possible, remove the roof rack.
• Always drive with the prescribed tire inflation pressure, never allow the tires to be underinflated.

Choose your means of transport wisely. Avoid travelling on busy highways and during rush hour if possible.
