Correct answer

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

Measures that help save fuel: drive with the windows closed (using the air conditioning and climate control also increases consumption); do not carry more weight than necessary and load the vehicle correctly; carry luggage inside the vehicle (a roof rack increases consumption even when empty); switch off the engine during long stops (more than 60 seconds); avoid driving through town centres, on busy roads or anywhere else where you cannot keep a steady average speed; maintain the vehicle properly (tyres, air filter, etc.).
