Correct answer

  • Butilizar marchas altas, incluso en ciudad.using high gears, even in town.

Driving in the highest possible gear, also in town, keeps engine revs low and reduces consumption. That is why it is recommended to change up early and even skip a gear when accelerating, instead of staying in the low gears for as long as possible.
