Automotive experts have revealed the fact that you can save fuel when driving slowly.
According to a report published by the automotive website Al-Murabbaa, there are multiple theories on the best way to reduce fuel consumption in cars.
The report indicated that one of these popular theories is that driving slowly saves fuel, explaining that in general, driving slowly does not save fuel, and driving at high speeds of more than 100 km / h consumes more fuel.
Experts explained that there are certain speeds that are considered the best in terms of fuel consumption, in addition to the number of engine revs / minute (RPM), an important factor in affecting significantly fuel consumption while driving.
Experts pointed out that pressing firmly on the throttle raises the number of engine revs high, causing a large amount of fuel to be pumped even at slow speeds, while the ideal rate of acceleration is an increase of 20 km / h every 5 seconds, meaning that acceleration gradually is better than Sudden acceleration, because sudden acceleration burns a lot of fuel.
Automobile experts also confirmed that driving at a speed of 100 km / h instead of 120 km / h (i.e. lower RPM) reduces fuel consumption by 20%, so it is preferable to use cruise control on highways, because stability on highway speeds provides the highest level of efficiency. With fuel consumption.
