Take Your Toyota Hybrid to the Max

Each carefully researched and developed Toyota hybrid is prepared to offer drivers best-in-class fuel-saving technology. But just because engineers have worked hard to deliver ultra-efficient autos, doesn't mean you can't pitch in to help the cause even further.

What exactly does Avondale Toyota mean? Simply that when driving a hybrid (i.e. the Toyota Prius or Toyota Camry Hybrid), it's entirely possible to extend your electric range even further with a few simple practices. We invite you to scan the following list. Then, be sure to contact one of our team members and let us know what you think or how these tips work out for you.

-          Know your gauges: Toyota hybrid vehicles come with easy-to-read dials and gauges that will allow you to monitor energy usage
-          Get rid of baggage: Remove unnecessary weight such as bike racks and roof boxes when not using them
-          Maintain steady speed: Cruise control is a hybrid driver's best friend. Use it when possible to keep from accidentally accelerating too much and using up fuel
-          Brake gently, brake early: This practice will help boost regenerative braking  and allow you auto to operate in EV mode longer
-          Use ECO mode for improved efficiency
-          Limit vehicle toxins: This one's mostly for the environment
-          Avoid using ancillaries such as lights and wipers to reduce energy consumption
-          Press the accelerator lightly and consistently to keep EV mode working
