Most vehicles incorporate systems and technologies designed to optimize the consumption of the car such as tires with low rolling resistance, inflation pressures to obtain the best values in terms of consumption without penalizing safety and various external aerodynamic elements.
Some people think that for example driving a car at low revs, especially if it is diesel, could affect its performance and eventually reduce engine life, but the new diesel engines are designed to work under these low revs, for it is no longer a problem for the engine. It is also thought that when driving downhill, it is better to go in neutral gear to save consumption, but the ideal situation is to use the engine brake when doing so, since having a gear engaged and removing the foot from the throttle does not inject fuel into the engine and therefore there is no fuel consumption.

Driving in Summer

The answer will basically depend on the speed you are driving at. At low speed, it is more optimal for the car to lower the windows and get natural air. Instead from 80 km/h on, it is always advisable to close the window and activate the air conditioning. Enjoy the best driving experience of your rental car with rent a car Málaga Fetajorentacar.
