To practice efficient driving in a vehicle with a petrol engine, when should you start driving?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

In vehicles with a petrol engine, you should start driving immediately after starting the engine. It is not necessary to wait for the vehicle to warm up while stationary, as the engine reaches its optimal operating temperature much faster while moving (although this should be done gently at first). Idling causes unnecessary fuel consumption and increases pollution. Conversely, in diesel engines, it is recommended to wait a few seconds to ensure proper lubrication.
