Answer: Indirectly, yes. Smooth acceleration and better anticipation can reduce wasted fuel.
Do not confuse a driving score with a fuel reading
A telematics app may tell you that your acceleration has improved, but it usually cannot tell you precisely how much petrol or diesel you saved. If fuel economy matters, compare actual tank-to-tank consumption or the car’s trip data over several similar journeys.
Smooth driving can reduce wasted energy
Every unnecessary burst of acceleration uses fuel, and much of that energy is then lost as heat if you brake again moments later. Looking further ahead and maintaining a steadier pace can reduce this accelerate-brake cycle.
