Team-BHP - View Single Post - ARTICLE: How to get the maximum Fuel Efficiency

Here is what I think:

1. If you feel the pressure on the accelerator, you are spending too much fuel. Do that only when needed, like overtaking.

2. If you take the foot away from the accelerator, and you can FEEL the engine braking, you 'had been' going too fast and spending too much fuel

3. If you take the foot away from the accelerator and you can feel the engine jerking (what is the correct term here?), you are going too slow, and you are burning fuel for too long (ie it takes more time to cover the same distance)

Remember, a HAPPY engine is always an FE engine too.
