The shorter is the distance kept from the vehicle in front, the lower are both brake wear and fuel consumption.
In order to keep proper distance from the vehicle in front you are required to constantly use the brakes, and therefore it causes quick brake wear.
When proper distance is kept – brake wear and engine fuel consumption are reduced,
