In what way is lower fuel consumption and more efficient driving achieved?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is driving with high gears and low engine revolutions. In efficient driving (Eco-driving), the goal is to keep the engine running at a low RPM range using the gearbox. High gears and low RPM: Allow the vehicle to move with the fewest number of cylinder explosions per minute, reducing fuel consumption and noise pollution. Why not low gears: Low gears (1st, 2nd) provide a lot of power but force the engine to spin very fast to maintain speed, skyrocketing consumption. As a general rule, in petrol engines, you should shift gears between 2,000 and 2,500 rpm, and in diesel engines between 1,500 and 2,000 rpm.
