Show answer

Correct answer

  • CConducir con las ventanillas cerradas.Drive with the windows closed.
Explanation

With the windows open, aerodynamic drag increases, especially at high speeds, and the engine has to work harder to keep going, so it uses more fuel. Driving with the windows closed and at a moderate speed saves fuel.
