electrical components when they are
not genuinely needed. However(safe

windows open at 62 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel consumption by 4%.

brim to avoid overflow.

door" calls (short journeys with long
waits in between) because in such
conditions the engine never reaches
its optimal operating temperature.
