Is driving on highways more fuel-efficient than driving in urban areas?
1 Answers
Driving on highways is slightly more fuel-efficient than driving in urban areas because the speed is more consistent, allowing the engine to operate efficiently. In contrast, frequent stops and starts in urban driving can easily increase fuel consumption. Here is more information about vehicle fuel consumption: 1. Fuel consumption includes constant-speed fuel consumption and road cycle fuel consumption. Constant-speed fuel consumption refers to the fuel economy indicator when a vehicle travels at a constant speed on good road conditions; road cycle fuel consumption is the fuel economy indicator measured when a vehicle follows specified speed and time cycles on roads. 2. Incorrect driving habits and frequent stops and starts can increase fuel consumption during driving.
