On September 1st, the cost of fuel duty will go up by 2p, making our fuel even more expensive than it already is. We have the highest fuel duty in the world, but fear not! There are a few ways in which you can cut the cost of your fuel, thanks to the Times Online .
Find your cheapest Petrol Station: If you sign up and log on to www.petrolprices.com like I have then you can jot in more than one postcode (I have my work and home) to see where your nearest cheapest petrol station is. (I ve seen 10p differences in my area!)
Air Conditioning: Do you really need it? It can increase your fuel consumption by up to 10%! If it is only mildly warm then wind down your windows. cruise and train vacation package to alaska Having said that, if you are driving over 60mph then winding down your windows can use more fuel than air conditioning. So be smart.
Check and Change your Oil: Cleaner oil reduces wear caused by friction of the moving engine parts, which can increase fuel consumption. Change the oil in a petrol car every year or 7,500 miles and for diesel every 6 months or 3,000miles.
Driving Smoothly Does it: Try not to put your foot down to accelerate or brake at the last second as this can increase your fuel consumption. Slow down gradually at traffic lights and approaching junctions.
Use the Car Less: Pretty obvious why! Try and use the car for short trips at once rather than on separate occasions. If you can walk down to the local shop to pick up some milk, then do so! The fresh air will do you some good.
