Friends,
i'm somewhat new to this automatic transmission functionality & things that's why i wish to ask u experience people a such question.
transmission = auto
in my question, i assumed a condition like in a by road or a lane that we r not making any traffic jam & road is not in a proper condition that best suitable gears are 1,2 & if you do hard acceleration u can get into 3rd.
Question is instead of doing rapid acceleration to get into 3rd)or any higher) for a short time, if we let car to do all job in 1st & 2nd in cruising manner(not hurry to reach destination) keeping RPM <= 2000 & using the maximum momentum & let the cars weight itself roll it.....
1. So such driver would save more fuel than the one who aggressive(may go in higher gears, would finish journey quickly, more acceleration may be higher RPMs like 3000)?
2. An automatic transmission car would select the best suitable gear vehicle should be based on vagarious factors like load etc. why does still an auto car does bit less on km/l than it's same type manual?
