BDifficulty 2/5

When driving a car, what helps reduce fuel consumption and emissions?

Correct answer

Maintain an appropriate steady speed where possible, avoiding unnecessary harsh manoeuvres.

Drive smoothly and anticipate, avoiding unnecessary acceleration and braking and keeping speed as steady as appropriate. Adapt speed to traffic, signals and safety; steady speed never justifies failing to brake. Maintenance also matters, and results depend on the vehicle and conditions.
