Which action helps reduce fuel consumption while driving?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

To practice economic and efficient driving, the general rule is to drive in the highest gear possible allowed by road and traffic conditions. You should shift to a higher gear as soon as possible to keep the engine in a low and steady RPM range. This is because driving at high RPMs or delaying the shift to a higher gear places greater strain on the engine, significantly increasing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
