Why Does My Car Consume Less Fuel When My Friend Drives It? by Deew22: 11:49am On Oct 17, 2023 |
Hi everyone. I drive a benz c230 2006. Whenever I drive, I get an MPG of 18 to 19MPG. Three days ago, I gave my friend the car and I sat on the front passenger seat while he drove us. When we checked the MPG on the dashboard, I was surprised to see 27MPG. So I'm curious, I know it'd be the driving pattern. He is a better driver than I am. I have called on him to come to my place to teach me how he's driving. I want to know how you drive to save fuel. I need to start saving fuel while I drive. |

Apart from any mechanical fault in a car, two things dat consumes fuel most is too much speed n too much load... I think ur friend knows how to maintain a particular speed dat needs him not to be matching the accelerator often... 3 Likes |

Automatic or manual transmission? Or you are driving with both legs pressing both brake and throttle |

Deew22: You throttle hard, I don't rev past 3000rpm while driving on mainroad, even in the streets I don't throttle sef, just release the brake and let the car roll, if I wants to climb I throttle softly. Entering the mainroad sef 1500rpm - 2500rpm highest, When you drive like this for a week, you'll notice your car would be quieter, smooth gear change, fuel efficient and always clean when it rains. Try this and thank me later! 3 Likes |
