- A By using an anti-waxing agent only in freezing conditions.
- B By driving the vehicle in a lower gear for as long as possible.
- C By using gentle acceleration and making gear changes appropriate to speed.

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: By using gentle acceleration and making gear changes appropriate to speed..
A driver can contribute to their vehicles fuel efficiency by reading the road ahead and driving smoothly. This is achieved by accelerating gently; using the most appropriate gear for the speed they are travelling at and avoiding harsh braking.
