You are driving a motor vehicle with a manual gearbox. What style of driving results in higher fuel consumption within a built-up area?

Your answer is correct because both accelerating heavily and driving at high engine speed lead to higher fuel consumption in built-up areas. Heavy acceleration uses more fuel as the engine works harder to increase speed quickly. Similarly, driving at high engine speeds (high RPM) consumes more fuel because the engine is working more intensively. On the other hand, driving in a high gear usually reduces fuel consumption because it keeps engine speed lower. Understanding this helps you drive more economically by accelerating smoothly and shifting gears appropriately to keep engine speed moderate.
