Question 6359
An efficient driving technique is...
- using higher gears at lower engine speeds.
- shifting gears at higher engine speeds.
- driving 10 km/h below the maximum permitted speed.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: using higher gears at lower engine speeds.
Efficient driving calls for using the highest possible gear at a low engine speed, without straining the engine. If you shift up when the engine is revving high, you use more fuel and make more noise.
