To achieve efficient driving and reduce fuel consumption, what measure is recommended?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The key to efficient driving is anticipation. The correct answer is to increase the safety distance. By maintaining more space with the vehicle in front, we widen our field of vision and gain reaction time. This allows us to lift our foot off the accelerator earlier and use the vehicle's momentum (engine braking) instead of braking abruptly, which saves fuel and reduces mechanical wear. Conversely, reducing the distance is dangerous and forces constant braking and accelerating, while accelerating hard when starting significantly spikes fuel consumption.
