FUEL CONSERVATION
16 September 1977 STAT
1. In line with the President's energy conservation plan for the
Nation, the Administrator of General Services has issued instructions to
the Heads of Federal Agencies prescribing guidelines to be followed to
conserve fuel in Government-owned or -operated motor vehicles.
2. Briefly stated, the guidelines are as follows:
a. Do not idle engine for long periods of time.
Limit idle time to no more than one minute when the
vehicle is parked.
b. Reduce motor vehicle travel to the maximum
extent practicable without jeopardizing essential business.
c. Use the smallest vehicle that is feasible for
the job.
d. Maintain tire pressure at tire manufacturer's
recommendation. Check pressure at least once each week.
3. While these guidelines are mandatory for operating Government-
owned motor vehicles, it would be wise to apply them when using your
own personal vehicle as the energy problem is nationwide, not just
Government-wide.
