What contributes to economic driving?

Economic driving is characterized by an approach that maximizes fuel efficiency and minimizes wear on the vehicle. Smooth and gentle driving techniques contribute significantly to achieving these results. This involves maintaining a steady speed, avoiding rapid braking and sudden acceleration, and optimizing gear changes. By doing so, the driver ensures that fuel is used more efficiently, leading to lower operating costs.

Frequent acceleration and deceleration, driving above speed limits, and using high revs in all situations generally lead to increased fuel consumption and can put additional strain on the vehicle. Techniques that promote fluidity and minimize abrupt changes in speed contribute to better fuel economy and a more sustainable driving practice.
