Which driving habit helps drive green?

• A. Speed up and slow down abruptly
• B. Speed up and slow down smoothly
• C. Keep engine idling
• D. Frequent rapid accelerating

Answer: (B)

Driving green comes down to using fuel efficiently. Accelerating and braking smoothly helps keep the engine in its most efficient range, uses fuel more wisely, and reduces wear on the brakes. When you speed up abruptly or slow down with sudden changes, the engine works harder and you waste energy, leading to higher fuel consumption and more emissions. Idling wastes fuel without moving the vehicle, and frequent rapid acceleration also burns more fuel and wears parts faster. By planning your drive, anticipating traffic signals, and maintaining steady speed with gentle throttle input, you maximize fuel economy and drive greener.
