Driving experts have highlighted a commonly overlooked way that drivers sharply accelerate, which, in turn, lowers fuel efficiency.
The Nutley Kia auto dealership group says some drivers punch their accelerator with too much speed and force when a traffic light turns green.
These auto sales pros add that rapid acceleration at green lights separately increases vehicle wear and tear.
Car parts that this wear and tear can affect include an engine, transmission, brake, suspension, drivetrain, and tires.
Drivers are sometimes more likely to accelerate rapidly at green traffic lights in urban areas where motorists frequently race to get through intersections before the light changes, according to Nutley Kia.
