Correct answer

  • BNo cargar el vehículo en exceso.Not overload the vehicle.
Explanation

A good way to save fuel is not to overload the vehicle. Extra mass makes the vehicle use more fuel. We should avoid carrying more weight than necessary and place the load correctly, as these factors also affect fuel consumption (use the roof rack only when there is no other option, as it increases consumption even when empty).
