Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: Fuel consumption increases..
Harsh acceleration increases fuel consumption. Smooth acceleration helps to reduce fuel consumption and the emissions from vehicles. Try not to over-rev the engine and use the appropriate gear for the speed of the vehicle. When slowing down; take your foot off the accelerator and allow the vehicle to slow progressively before you brake.
