Question 8182
Does the distribution of the load in a vehicle affect fuel consumption?
- Only if the vehicle does not have a fuel-injected engine.
- Yes, which is why it is very important to position the load properly.
- No; only its weight affects fuel consumption, not its distribution.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, which is why it is very important to position the load properly.
Yes. If you put too much weight in the back, the rear sinks and the front rises. The car faces more air resistance and uses more fuel, and the front axle also loses traction. Distribute the load and do not overload the rear.
