At low speeds, and I want to go

In practice:
The seat belt, start and leave immediately
fast speed, short, strong
top gear quickly
(Min 2000-2500 rpm.)
Car drivers want to walk.

In theory:
Fuel consumption and emissions of an engine depends mainly on engine speed. Increases faster at the same rate of fuel consumption. The formula is simple: the consumption of high speed = high, low = low speed. A few years ago I was driving in the range of average speed (2500 -. 4000 rpm) or a particularly good fuel consumption. Today, modern engines of lower power and lower emissions possible, even in a low speed (1500 - 2500 U / min.).

The low-speed range should not be confused with a low conduction velocity (below idle speed.) The transition between the low and the area indicates the call  control limit under the vehicle, the actual speed is below idle speed (depending on vehicle at 1000 rpm.). In this case, change to a lower speed. "throttle to save fuel"- this slogan may sound paradoxical, but the fact remains: For the same speed "more gas" in high fuel consumption rate of driving with "less gas" in a low gear. This also applies to the slopes.
Low speeds and "more gas", also the engine heat faster high-speed applications with "less gas, " so that the necessary operating temperature reached more quickly and thus the engine life is. The noise level is reduced in this way. A vehicle minutes at 4000 rpm. is controlled from a purely statistical, as high as 32 ​​vehicles at a speed of  2000 rpm. road. Low-speed drive means, therefore, from a speed of  2000-2500 rpm. to select the next gear. If there is no tachometer, it helps the following rule of thumb:

1. Begin the transition (about the size of the vehicle)
2. Response to 25 kmh
3. Step 25 kmh to 40 kmh
4. The transition from 40 kmh
5. The transition from 50 kmh

With an automatic transmission, power program before the next gear when the pressure is reduced to only the gas pedal to the desired switching speed, or speed. Once the traffic speed is reached, then you can "swim" uniform. For urban transport, this means about 30 km / h in third transition, about 40 km / h in fourth Transition and about 50 km / h in fifth Transition.

Safety:
Of course there are situations where quick acceleration is needed, for example when driving on the road. Always the chosen course, which provides the required acceleration performance. As always, applies here: "Safety first. "

In training:
Low speed driving may feel strange in practice as well. Professional coaches teach both specifically
     - The rapid acceleration,
     - Low speed switching
     - The low speed and a smooth ride
     - The recognition of  limit angel.

You experience that can not drive slowly, because the low-speed driving does not become an obstacle to traffic.
