Correct answer
No; the unnecessary actions described can increase fuel consumption.
No. Those unnecessary actions can increase fuel consumption rather than reduce it. Synchronisers match the speeds of the gearbox components. Efficient driving avoids unnecessary throttle blips and unnecessarily prolonged shifts. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. This scenario does not concern a non-synchronised gearbox that requires this technique or an automatic dual-clutch transmission.
