Show answer

Correct answer

  • ACon marchas largas y a bajas revoluciones.In high gears at low revs.
Explanation

Choosing the right gear is one of the key aspects 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.
