There are some simple ways in which drivers can slash the cost of their fuel whilst on the roads.
Anyone heading out on a road trip this summer is urged to be aware of the ways in which they can cut down on their fuel costs.
Driving in warm weather means you might be tempted to crank up the aircon for the entire journey, but according to Tim Rodie from the used car company, this isn't always entirely fuel-efficient. “The same goes for bike racks and roof boxes. Unless you need the extra storage space, it’s worth travelling without them. They might be a pain to remove but the increased drag and extra weight means your car needs to work harder to get you where you need to go.”“It seems obvious, but you can burn through a lot of fuel when stuck in traffic so it’s worth mapping your route before setting off. Apps like Waze are useful for spotting unexpected delays that could impact your journey.
“Research has shown that sticking to the speed limit on the motorway can increase fuel efficiency by up to 25% compared with driving at 80mph. So, to save fuel, it’s a good idea to stick within the speed limit and try to drive at a consistent speed as much as possible.”If you are going to be travelling hundreds of miles this summer, it’s important to make sure you are paying special attention to your tyres.
