Roulez toujours à vitesse constante et modérée. Les constants départs et arrêts brusques mettent le véhicule à dure épreuve et gaspillent du carburant, peu importe que la circulation soit lourde ou non. Selon Transports Canada, les excès de vitesse et les accélérations brusques peuvent augmenter la consommation d'essence dans une proportion pouvant atteindre 20 %. 3, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9part%20en%20trombe
