Does the type of road you drive on affect fuel consumption?

Correct answer

Yes, fuel consumption is generally higher on urban roads.

Yes. Urban stops, restarts and idling commonly increase fuel use in a combustion vehicle. This is not an absolute rule: speed, gradients, traffic, vehicle condition and driving style also matter. Not every moped has manual gears, and consumption must not be attributed solely to low gears.
