How to Drive a Manual-Automatic Transmission Car for Better Fuel Efficiency?
1 Answers
There are several aspects to pay attention to when driving a manual-automatic transmission car for better fuel efficiency. Below are the key considerations for saving fuel with a manual-automatic transmission: 1. Starting: Start gently. The best method is to let the car warm up for about a minute after starting (longer in winter), then let the car move slowly and gradually increase the throttle. Once the water temperature and other indicators are normal, you can drive as usual. 2. On slopes: When going uphill, shifting to the left (manual mode) saves fuel, while automatic acceleration consumes more. Before ascending, maintaining a speed above 50 km/h saves fuel, whereas lower speeds consume more. When descending a long slope, using manual mode saves fuel, while automatic mode consumes more. 3. Long-distance driving: During long-distance cruising, using manual mode saves fuel, while automatic mode consumes more.
