What should the driving speed of a vehicle be like for economical driving?
Preventive and Efficient Driving – Observation and Fuel Saving
Explanation
To achieve **economic driving**, it is essential to maintain a **uniform speed**. This means that the vehicle should travel at a constant speed, avoiding sudden and frequent changes in speed.
- **Fuel consumption:** From 80 or 90 km/h onwards, fuel consumption increases significantly. Additionally, constantly changing speed also increases consumption. Therefore, maintaining a constant speed helps reduce fuel expenditure.
- **Driver fatigue:** Driving at a uniform speed also reduces driver fatigue, as it does not require constant speed adjustments.
- **Acceleration and gear changes:** It is recommended to accelerate smoothly and progressively, and to use the highest possible gears within speed limits, as the vehicle consumes less fuel under these conditions.
In summary, for economic driving, it is essential to maintain a **constant and uniform speed**, avoiding sudden accelerations and braking.
