Question 6157
How can you save fuel?
- By pressing the clutch pedal when the vehicle is stopped.
- By shifting to a higher gear as soon as possible.
- By shifting to a lower gear as soon as possible.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: By shifting to a higher gear as soon as possible.
You save fuel by shifting to a higher gear as soon as possible, without letting the engine rev too high. In the image, the green upward arrow on the instrument panel suggests shifting up. Waiting while stopped with a gear engaged and the clutch pedal pressed uses more fuel and wears out the clutch.
