wahyudi.jr said:Mr Mandala, if I may be corrected, the data shown in the picture upside down with your statement. fuel consumption at 900 rpm is higher than at 1600 rpm. why is that? What kind of analysis?

RPM stands for revolutions per minute, and it refers to the number of times the engine's crankshaft rotates in one minute. The higher the RPM, the faster the engine is running. Fuel consumption is affected by RPM because higher RPMs require more fuel to maintain the same speed.
Typically, it is better to drive at a lower RPM for fuel efficiency. This means shifting to a higher gear sooner and driving at a lower speed. However, this may vary depending on the specific vehicle and driving conditions.
RPM can vary significantly between different types of vehicles. Generally, a smaller, more fuel-efficient car will have a lower RPM at a given speed compared to a larger, less fuel-efficient vehicle. This is due to differences in engine size, weight, and other factors.
The optimal RPM range for fuel efficiency varies depending on the vehicle, but generally it is between 1000-3000 RPM. This range allows the engine to operate efficiently without using excessive fuel.
One way to reduce fuel consumption by managing RPM is to shift to a higher gear sooner and avoid constant rapid acceleration. Driving at a consistent speed and avoiding excessive idling can also help to reduce fuel consumption. Regular maintenance of the vehicle's engine and tires can also improve fuel efficiency and reduce the need for high RPMs.
