Questions Learners Have About Drag & Fuel Waste

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Drag & Fuel Waste, including how questions match the official theory exam in the Netherlands, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What is aerodynamic drag?

Aerodynamic drag is the resistance a vehicle experiences from the air as it moves. The faster you drive, the greater this air resistance becomes, requiring more power from the engine and thus consuming more fuel.

How does speed affect fuel consumption due to drag?

Fuel consumption due to drag increases significantly with speed. It's not a linear relationship; doubling your speed can increase air resistance (and therefore fuel needed to overcome it) by as much as four times. This makes high-speed driving much less fuel-efficient.

Do roof racks or open windows increase fuel waste?

Yes, both roof racks/boxes and driving with windows open significantly increase a vehicle's aerodynamic drag. They disrupt the car's streamlined shape, forcing the engine to work harder to maintain speed, leading to higher fuel consumption. It's best to remove roof racks when not in use and keep windows closed at higher speeds.

What is the best way to reduce fuel waste related to drag?

The most effective way to reduce fuel waste from drag is to maintain moderate speeds, especially on highways. Additionally, remove any unnecessary external attachments like roof racks or bicycle carriers, and keep windows closed at higher speeds to maintain your vehicle's aerodynamics.
