The rise of car fuel and big gas guzzling engines have caused people to look for better performing cars and not spend as much money at the pump.
For this reason, automobile manufacturers have focused on developing vehicles with new technology so that their models tGet better fuel economy without sacrificing power and strength that characterized 8-cylinder vehicles.
In fact, many of the newer cars feature a driving mode called ecological (ECO), which can be activated with a single button and is very useful, especially when driving in the city.
What is ECO mode?
The term ECO mode actually means economy mode in the car Its function is to mechanically alter certain characteristics of the car. It is mainly used while driving so that maximum miles can be covered with a gallon of gasoline or a liter of fuel.
Technically, it inhibits engine and transmission performance by reducing throttle response in favor of fuel economy. Consequently, the acceleration of the vehicle becomes less responsive and leads to lower fuel consumption.
How does ECO mode work?
ECO mode restricts transmission and engine performance to achieve better fuel efficiency. Even if you press hard on the accelerator while ECO mode is on, you won’t get mind-blowing power. Instead, it will only work within the restrictions set by the automaker.
ECO mode can also alter the intake of air and fuel to create a better mixture for efficiency. These tweaks add to the lack of responsiveness and power.
Activate ECO mode, the driver only has to press the button. This action can be performed while the vehicle is in motion and does not require any special tools to complete.
