How to save fuel: Manual transmission

With the manual transmission is easy to achieve greater fuel consumption efficiency by driving the small and medium revs.

Modern cars, especially with modern diesel engines, and doing quite well under 2000rpm. Of course this does not mean you have to watch the tachometer and the gear change on that basis.

Drive in and feel sure that if you do not want to accelerate any time soon switch to a higher gear. This is especially true for a ride on the open road, when in most cases free from 60mph you can switch into fifth gear.
