DDifficulty 2/5

In a modern fuel-injected car, which practice avoids unnecessary fuel use when starting the engine?

Correct answer

Start without unnecessary revving.

Start without unnecessary revving and follow manufacturer instructions. You do not need to hold the engine at high revs to warm it before normally setting off. Drive gently while it reaches operating temperature; this is not a reason to avoid appropriate engine braking.
