Question 8200
Regarding efficient driving, in which passenger cars should you shift gears, as a general rule, when the engine is between 1,300 and 2,000 rpm?
- In those with a gasoline engine.
- In those with a diesel engine.
- In automatic cars with a hybrid engine.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: In those with a diesel engine.
In a diesel passenger car, it is recommended to shift up between 1,500 and 2,000 rpm, within that range, because it delivers its pulling power at lower engine speeds than a gasoline car. With a gasoline engine, you shift a little later.
