Which Consumes More Fuel: Idling or Normal Driving?
1 Answers
Idling consumes more fuel than normal driving. Concept of Idling: When the engine is running without load, it is called idling. During engine operation, if the accelerator pedal is completely released, the engine enters an idling state. The idle speed of the engine can be adjusted by modifying the throttle opening size. When the accelerator pedal is released while the engine is running, the engine will be in an idling state. The idle speed should not fluctuate excessively, as this can cause wear and tear on the engine. Idling State: In the idling state, it is necessary to maintain the engine speed to prevent stalling. Typically, the idle speed for a car is set at 800 rpm, which means the engine injects fuel 1600 times per minute.
