Among the following options, which measure contributes effectively to reducing vehicle fuel consumption?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is do not overload the vehicle. Weight is one of the factors that most influences consumption; the greater the weight, the more power and fuel the engine needs to move the vehicle and overcome inertia. Regarding the incorrect options: Lowering tire pressure: This is false and dangerous. Pressure lower than recommended increases the friction surface with the asphalt, significantly increasing consumption and tire wear. Stopping the engine during brief stops: This is not effective. It is recommended to turn off the engine only during prolonged stops (lasting more than 1 or 2 minutes, such as in a traffic jam or level crossing), not at every brief stop, as the constant starting process can consume more fuel and wear out the battery and starter motor.
