Correct answer

  • AQue el motor va más rápido y consume más.The engine runs faster and uses more fuel.
Explanation

Idling is the engine's lowest running speed when we are not pressing the accelerator. It can run faster or slower. The faster it runs, the more fuel the engine uses, so the slower it runs, the less fuel it uses.
