Correct answer
- Ba una velocidad uniforme, evitando los frenazos y los acelerones.at a steady speed, avoiding harsh braking and sudden acceleration.
For eco-driving, keep your speed as steady as possible, avoiding unnecessary acceleration and braking. It is not a question of driving faster or slower, but of keeping a constant average speed for as long as possible. Choosing the right gear is another key aspect of eco-driving. Driving in high gears with the engine at low revs means lower fuel consumption. We should use the highest possible gear (4th or 5th) even in town and keep the engine at low revs. In low gears the engine runs at higher revs and uses more fuel.
