Show answer

Correct answer

  • BCircular con el vehículo muy cargado.Driving with the vehicle heavily loaded.
Explanation

The heavier the load, the more mass has to be moved and braked, so consumption goes up. Closed windows improve aerodynamics and save fuel; tyres without tread are a serious risk, but they do not increase consumption.
