After starting my car, I maintain a moderate speed and accelerate gently for the first two kilometers. This simple eco-driving practice is both effortless and highly economical.
It's true that engines experience more wear when cold due to poorer lubrication. However, contrary to common myths, idling the engine to warm it up is unnecessary and wasteful.
For optimal performance, your engine needs about five kilometers of driving to fully warm up.
With proven eco-driving techniques, driving slowly for at least the first two kilometers reduces fuel consumption by 45% on the first kilometer and 25% on the second.
This straightforward tip saves significant fuel and boosts your purchasing power with every drive.
To maximize savings, extend slow driving for the full first five kilometers.
