In which gears should we drive so that fuel consumption is lower?
Preventive and Efficient Driving – Observation and Fuel Saving
Explanation
To **reduce fuel consumption**, it is important to drive in **higher gears** with the **engine running at low revs**. This is because:
- In **higher gears** (such as fourth and fifth), the engine operates at a **higher speed** but with **less power**, resulting in **lower fuel consumption**.
- Keeping the engine **at low revs** avoids straining it, which also contributes to more efficient fuel use.
In contrast, using **lower gears** or keeping the engine **at high revs** increases consumption, as the engine works more intensively and with more power, which is not efficient for fuel saving.
