What can a driver do to maximise fuel efficiency while driving?

  1. A.Increase road speed.
  2. B.Fit a roof rack.
  3. C.Reduce pressure in all tyres.
  4. D.Avoid carrying unnecessary weight.
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D. Avoid carrying unnecessary weight.

The more extra weight is in your vehicle, the more fuel you use. Using a roof rack or a roof box increases wind resistance and this also increases fuel consumption : by as much as 15%. Remove roof racks and roof boxes when not in use.
