Why Does High-Speed Driving Consume More Fuel?

[Wright]

Vehicles experience greater air resistance at high speeds, and the faster the speed, the more fuel is consumed. Here are some precautions for high-speed driving: 1. Identify lanes and road signs clearly: On highways, the lane closest to the median barrier is the overtaking lane. Avoid staying in the overtaking lane for extended periods unless overtaking. The far-right lane is usually the emergency lane; never overtake from the emergency lane as it is very dangerous. 2. Speed control: Pay attention to your driving speed. On highways, slower isn’t always safer. A speed of 80 to 100 km/h is generally safer for small cars. Driving too slowly may cause following vehicles to fail to avoid in time, increasing the risk of rear-end collisions. 3. Light selection: Use high beams when driving at night and activate the left turn signal when overtaking.
