How to Drive an Automatic Transmission Car for Fuel Efficiency?

[AbelAnn]

Methods for saving fuel in an automatic transmission car: 1. Shift gears appropriately: Generally, the basic gears of an automatic transmission car are P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), and D (Drive). It's important to use the automatic gearshift properly to save fuel more efficiently; 2. Avoid sudden acceleration: Since automatic transmission cars shift gears automatically, there is a certain interval during the process. Therefore, avoid stomping on the accelerator pedal suddenly, as it will increase fuel consumption; 3. Avoid hard braking: Excessive braking increases fuel consumption, so it's better to maintain a steady speed while driving and use gentle braking whenever possible; 4. Coast downhill in D gear: Coasting in neutral not only fails to save fuel but also increases some risks. A more fuel-efficient method is to coast downhill at a certain speed while keeping the car in D gear and releasing the accelerator pedal, allowing the engine to automatically cut off fuel supply.
