Take advantage of Fiat's Green Check-Up, an ecology maintenance check on your Fiat that takes 20 minutes. Fiat mechanics will check CO2 emissions from your Sienna, tire pressure and conditions, the condition of the air filter and engine intake system and the condition of the battery. Proper maintenance is one of the best ways to maximize fuel efficiency.

Shift to a high gear as soon as possible. The Sienna is mostly sold as a manual transmission allowing the driver to shift to high gears at lower speeds. At high gears the engine turns slower, so it does not burn as much fuel. Shifting to high gears sooner will take away from acceleration power, but it will save gas.
Some Sienna models come with the Speedgear option, where the car can be a fully automatic or you can shift the car like a manual by moving the shift lever. This option will allow you to shift to a high gear sooner than the automatic transmission would. -

Avoid peak traffic times. Sitting in traffic burns fuel and decreases fuel economy. For example, drive to work early to avoid rush hour morning traffic.

Alter your driving style. Accelerate slowly from a stop; use cruise control on the freeway for the current speed limit; and glide to anticipated stops rather than accelerating and slamming on the breaks. Driving style can greatly increase fuel economy.
