We all like to save money, and with rising petrol costs, any tips that give you more miles to the gallon have to be worth a try.
Follow these simple rules and drive down the running cost of your car.
Make sure you don’t have excess weight in your car, reducing weight is free and makes your car run more economically and perform better.
When you’re driving, try and read the road. Try to avoid the need to slow down or using the breaks so much by easing off the throttle. This will save fuel and also gives less wear on the breaks. By not breaking as much, you will be stationary more and will use less energy speeding up.
If you’re traveling at a low speed, rather than using the air conditioning – open the sunroof or window to let fresh air in. Once you speed up, use your air conditioning it uses less engine power when your car is at higher speeds.
You could also reduce your speed slightly, the difference between 50 and 60mph may not seem much, but your car will use about 20% more fuel to do 60 mph.
Lastly, make sure you get your car serviced, a well-kept car is 10% more efficient.
