The 18-year-old became the youngest ever British F3 champion - and the first from Spain - in the final race at Donington Park on Sunday by recording his third straight victory and fifth of the year.
But his rivals in the four-way title fight won their share of races too, with Brendon Hartley winning five times and Oliver Turvey and Sergio Perez four each.
Alguersuari says the difference was that he only failed to finish outside the top six three times in 22 races while the others posted more retirements.
"It was so close with all of us, but I made no big mistakes," he told autosport.com. "I'm not one of those drivers that has to win every race. "I just have to be in the top five every race and from there, you can always win.
"My bad weekend was a fifth or a sixth place, while the other guys were much more up and down. They might win one week but the next they have a crash or are outside the top ten. That consistency is what's most important."
Alguersuari is now looking forward to the end of season Macau Grand Prix, where he will go up against the best drivers from the European and Japanese F3 championships as well as his rivals from the British series.
"It will be my first time at Macau and I will do my best, but it will be hard because it's a very difficult circuit and almost always second year drivers do the best there," he added.
