Does Coasting Save Fuel in Cars?
1 Answers
Whether it's an automatic or manual transmission vehicle, coasting in neutral is not a fuel-saving behavior. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Lightly press the accelerator: When a car starts at low speed, it is in a peak fuel consumption zone. Therefore, gently pressing the accelerator during startup to prevent excessively high RPM can effectively reduce fuel consumption. 2. Avoid high RPM: Try to avoid unnecessary high RPM as fluctuating engine speeds can significantly increase fuel consumption. 3. Regular maintenance: Change the engine oil and remove carbon deposits. 4. Avoid sudden braking: Anticipating road conditions in advance not only improves driving safety but also saves fuel. For example, gradually slowing down before traffic lights and utilizing inertia to coast.
