Hi Samantha, congratulations on your new Ford S-Max! As a fellow owner, I have a few tips on improving fuel efficiency. First, make sure your tires are properly inflated. Underinflated tires can decrease fuel efficiency by up to 3%. Second, try to avoid excessive idling and use cruise control when possible. Additionally, using premium fuel and regular maintenance can also help. Good luck!

Hi Samantha, I've been driving a Ford S-Max for years and have found that using a fuel additive, like Techron, has significantly improved my mileage. Also, try to avoid hard accelerations and braking, as they can decrease fuel efficiency. And don't forget to clean out your trunk, extra weight can contribute to lower MPG. Happy driving!

Hi Samantha, another trick is to use the air conditioning sparingly, as it can put extra strain on the engine and decrease fuel efficiency. If it's a hot day, try rolling down the windows instead. And lastly, try to avoid rush hour traffic, as stop-and-go driving can waste a lot of fuel. Best of luck with your new car!
