Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

In vehicles with a gasoline engine, the operating temperature is reached sooner and better while moving than while stationary at idle. That is why, according to the principles of efficient riding, it is advisable to set off right after starting, smoothly and without raising the revs much during the first few minutes. Waiting with the engine running and stationary, or revving the engine with no load, means a useless consumption of fuel, unnecessary wear of components and more polluting emissions.
