Which mode is more fuel-efficient for the Fista?
2 Answers
The Fista is more fuel-efficient in Eco mode. This vehicle offers four driving modes: Comfort mode, Sport mode, Eco mode (also known as Eco mode), and Smart driving mode. The term 'Eco' is derived from the combination of 'Ecology' (environmental protection), 'Conservation' (energy saving), and 'Optimization' (power synthesis). Some manufacturers refer to it as the 'Eco mode,' while others call it the 'Economy mode.' The Fista has a body length of 4660mm, width of 1790mm, height of 1425mm, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. The engine equipped in this vehicle delivers a maximum power of 140kW and a maximum torque of 265Nm.
I've been driving the Fiesta for several years, mainly using Eco mode for daily commuting, and its fuel-saving effect is quite noticeable. The throttle response becomes slower, with smoother acceleration, not as fuel-guzzling as Sport mode. In city stop-and-go traffic, Eco mode has saved me a lot of money. I usually pay attention to gently pressing the throttle, avoiding sudden acceleration or braking. Tire pressure is maintained at the recommended value, generally around 35 psi, as lower pressure increases rolling resistance and consumes more fuel. I try to use the air conditioning sparingly and use the recirculation mode in cold weather. On highways, switching to Normal mode might offer a better balance, but overall, Eco is the top choice for fuel efficiency. Regular engine maintenance also improves efficiency, so don't overlook small details. In general, developing good driving habits combined with Eco mode can save 1-2 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers.
