The harder you accelerate the more fuel you use. In the city, you can use less fuel by easing onto the accelerator pedal gently. To be as fuel-efficient

fuel-efficient

Fuel economy is the relationship between the distance traveled and fuel consumed. Fuel economy can be expressed in two ways: Units of fuel per fixed distance. Generally expressed in liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km), used in most European countries, China, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

as possible, take 5 seconds to accelerate your vehicle up to 20 kilometres per hour from a stop.

Does accelerating slower save fuel?

How can that be? Cars get poorer fuel economy in lower gears, and accelerating too slowly prevents upshifting at an efficient rate. The best acceleration rate varies with the vehicle, gear ratios and weight.

Does acceleration increase fuel consumption?

The energy model indicates that most of the increase in fuel consumption with increased acceleration rates occurs because of the increased energy demand. For acceleration rates between 1 and 3 mph/sec, the energy demand increased by about 6 percent as did the fuel consumption.
