How to Drive a Manual Transmission Car for Better Fuel Efficiency?

Driving at low speeds not only fails to save fuel but also affects the driving of other vehicles, increasing traffic pressure. When driving, shifting to a higher gear in advance helps save fuel and allows the speed to increase steadily without any jerking sensation.

I've been driving manual transmission cars for over a decade and have summarized several fuel-saving tips. Try to shift up early while driving, such as changing gears when the engine speed is around 2000 RPM, don't wait until it's too high. Anticipating road conditions is key - when you see a red light or traffic jam, release the accelerator early to coast and brake less. Maintaining correct tire pressure reduces rolling resistance, saving fuel and ensuring safety. For maintenance, regularly replace air filters and spark plugs to ensure efficient engine operation. In urban areas, avoid sudden acceleration and deceleration - steady driving saves more fuel.
