Correct answer
Yes, because accelerating causes unnecessary fuel consumption.
Although accelerating was necessary to start the engine of a vehicle in older cars, nowadays it is recommended not to press the accelerator when starting it. The fuel-injection engines of current vehicles allow the vehicle to start simply by switching on the ignition, thereby avoiding unnecessary fuel consumption. This recommendation applies to both diesel and petrol vehicles.
