Reduction in fuel consumption by about 15%This was the right answer

Smooth acceleration, anticipation and suitable gears can reduce fuel consumption. Energy Saving Trust gives about 15% as a potential average saving when its techniques are applied thoroughly and consistently. This is an estimate, not a guarantee: the vehicle, journey and previous driving style matter, and sustained fleet savings may be lower.
