Up to what percentage can fuel consumption increase due to aggressive driving?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is 50%. Aggressive driving, characterized by sudden acceleration, hard braking, and unnecessary gear changes, prevents the driver from taking advantage of the vehicle's inertia. According to DGT manuals, this behavior can increase consumption by up to 50% and significantly increase the risk of accidents. The other options (20% and 80%) are incorrect for this specific context; although consumption varies, the statistical standard for defining the impact of aggressiveness behind the wheel is set at half the extra consumption.
