Correct answer

  • Bcon marchas largas a bajas revoluciones.in high gears at low revs.
Explanation

To use less fuel, we should drive in the highest gear possible for the circumstances, changing quickly from 1st to 2nd and from 2nd to 3rd, at the lowest possible revs, because the higher the revs, the faster the engine turns and the more fuel it uses.
