Why is the Ford EcoSport's fuel efficiency lower on highways than in the city?

I'm planning to purchase a Ford EcoSport and I've heard that it has good fuel efficiency in the city. However, I've also heard that the fuel efficiency decreases significantly on highways. Is this true? And if so, what could be the reason for this difference?

Hi Sarah, it is true that the Ford EcoSport's fuel efficiency is lower on highways compared to city driving. This is due to the higher speed and less frequent stops and starts on highways, which causes the engine to work harder and consume more fuel. One way to improve the fuel efficiency on highways is to maintain a steady speed and avoid quick acceleration and braking.

Hey Sarah, the reason for lower fuel efficiency on highways is also because of the aerodynamics of the Ford EcoSport. Its boxy shape creates more air resistance, making it less efficient at higher speeds. You can improve fuel efficiency by keeping your tires properly inflated and removing any unnecessary weight from the car.

Hi Sarah, another factor that affects the Ford EcoSport's fuel efficiency on highways is the type of fuel you use. Make sure to use a higher octane fuel for better performance and fuel efficiency. Additionally, regular maintenance and tune-ups can also improve the overall fuel efficiency of your car.
