On a visit to the Salut Bonjour program, the chronicler of the Car guide Antoine Joubert discussed the habits to adopt to reduce his gas consumption.
At the start of the episode, host Gino Chouinard asks if it makes sense to refuel a car with Super gasoline, when it only requires ordinary fuel.
“There is a nuance. That is, there are vehicles where [nous n’avons] no choice to put on Super, ”replies the columnist. However, some models where Super is recommended can run just fine on regular gasoline. He cites the Honda Pilot and Acura MDX as examples. The two SUVs are equipped with an identical engine, but Honda provides only regular gasoline while Acura recommends Super.

Does cruising speed influence the bill? Antoine responds to this question by saying that there are many factors at play. “Where the gap is important is how [le conducteur] behaves in the city,” he says.
Moreover, any gadget that claims to reduce fuel consumption does not work, according to Antoine. The latter also explains the effects of air conditioning as well as the routes offered by the GPS on fuel consumption.
