How to Drive a New Manual Transmission Car for Fuel Efficiency?
1 Answers
Methods for driving a new manual transmission car to save fuel are: 1. When starting the car, release the clutch to the half-clutch point and then gently press the accelerator to provide sufficient power for starting, which can reduce fuel consumption; 2. During normal driving, avoid pressing the accelerator while shifting gears—only press the clutch to prevent unnecessary fuel consumption; 3. In normal driving, try not to let the RPM exceed 2,000 when shifting gears unless climbing a hill, as this can help save fuel. A manual transmission, also known as a manual gearbox (MT), operates by using the gear shift fork to change the transmission ratio (gear ratio) of the meshing gears, thereby altering the driving torque to suit different driving conditions.
