Does aggressive driving style o r improper gear shifting affect the fuel economy of Changan Kalam among Pakistani users?

Many commercial drivers don’t follow optimal shifting practices. Could better training o r eco-driving habits help?

Yes — driver behavior plays a major role.
Many commercial drivers:

Rev too high before shifting

Skip maintenance

Use brake-clutch riding in traffic

Eco-driving practices like:

Timely shifting

Lower RPM driving

Gradual acceleration
Can improve mileage by 1–2 km/l. Driver training can have a major long-term impact.
