Friction slows down a car. As such, in order to maintain the velocity of the car, energy, i.e. gasoline, is required due to friction.
If there were no friction, an impossible state, the car would require no energy to maintain its velocity once it had achieved the desired velocity.

Why is friction harmful while driving a car in the winter?
Friction can be harmful or helpful when driving, no matter what time of year. For instance it is helpful when breaking and it is harmful between bearing surfaces. The loss of friction between the tyres and the road during winter can be disastrous.
Where does friction accure?
when you are driving a car and it is pushing it back
Is friction is a foe?
Friction can be a friend when walking and when driving a car. For example, walking or driving on ice can be very risky due to the lack of friction. Friction can be a foe when it causes more work to have to be done or excess heating. Friction is responsible for our getting blisters on our hands or feet.
When is friction not so useful?
When you drive a car and stop it is because of friction you stopped. If there was no friction your car won't stop and will slide. Friction also helps with waking, if there was no friction with every step you take you would slip. Friction lets your foot stay in one spot while you move the other foot. Ice has no friction so it is hard to walk on and hard to brake on (if driving a car.)
In which cases Friction can help the cause of motion?
There are many examples. The simplest ones would be walking or driving a car. Without friction it would be impossible to walk or drive, as there would be no surface to push away from. Wheels of a car would just spin and the car would remain stationary. Think about driving on ice (ice still have friction, its just lower).

How is force of friction useful?
driving a car
Where does friction accure?

What is the most significant force of friction?
a car driving on the road
Why can driving a car be harmful to the atmosphere?
because of monkey logs
What is harmful friction to a car?
metal to metal.... worn out brakes, bad oil pressure
What forces are there on a car?
gravity, friction, driving force and wind resistance..
What are sources of friction?
Driving a car down the street is a source of friction. Rolling a bowling ball down the lane is also an example of friction.
What is one harmful way friction affect a car?
Cars don't get better gas or mileage.
Is friction is a foe?

Friction can be a foe when it causes more work to have to be done or excess heating. Friction is responsible for our getting blisters on our hands or feet.
What is a low mu surface?
This is a low coefficient of friction like driving on ice with a car versus driving on dry asphalt.
Why does your car slow down while driving and giving it gas to the floor?
Because of friction
