Does Turning Off the Engine at Traffic Lights Save Fuel?
1 Answers
If the stopping time is within one minute, there is no need to turn off the engine at all, as the fuel consumption during ignition is almost the same. Below are some tips for reducing fuel consumption: 1. Regular maintenance is essential: The key to car longevity is maintenance, not repairs. Regular maintenance not only reduces the likelihood of car malfunctions but also lowers fuel consumption. 2. Avoid heavy acceleration: According to experimental analysis, heavy acceleration only shortens driving time by 4%, but increases fuel consumption by 37%-40%. 3. Reduce weight: Statistics show that for every additional 100KG of vehicle weight, fuel consumption increases by 4-5%.
