does driving at a constant speed (pressing the accelerator constantly but with varying amounts) give better gas mileage or does getting to a certain speed and coasting for a while before pressing the accelerator do better? Why?

Question

I feel like the first one should do better, but I don’t get why, and while I’m driving I keep thinking the second version will somehow end up better – but how do hills affect this?

Answer 1

Driving consistently will give the best results and finding the fastest speed you can travel in the highest gear with the lowest rpm (speed of the engine)
