”I have a problem, the problem is that out of all the disasters that the labour government left behind, the one that hit the public the most was the extortionate rise in fuel prices. Now with the conservatives in power hopefully this will change for the better.
Now the obvious things to do to cut your fuel bill would be to get a smaller car, use public transport or even walk, but that’s hardly practical is it, cars are going to be here for a long time yet so here is our practical guide to slashing your fuel bill. Enjoy.
Remove stuff you don’t use
I see this more and more these days, people driving around with unused roof racks, bike racks, flags, you name it. All this equipment increases the drag of the car thus reducing the fuel efficiency, Planning ahead, if you are thinking about buying a roof rack then make sure its easily removable when your not using it.
Drive efficiently
It has long been said that you can save between $120 – $300 a year simply by changing the way you drive. In the past it was said that the best speed for fuel efficiency was between 50-60 MPH, however this has been tested and now experts suggest driving at around 40MPH for better fuel savings. It is also said to turn off your air conditioning and drive with the windows down for an extra 8% performance.
Shop around
It makes sense to get the best price possible, so shop around. Keep tabs on the oil prices as it normally takes a few days for petrol to increase if it goes up, so if oil is going up then go fill your car before petrol goes up, simple. Also look at supermarkets, they are always running promotions on fuel. You can also check out petrolprices.com and bash in your postcode for the best price in your area.
Shopping for a car?
If you are looking to buy a new car look around for the best fuel efficient model you can, this doesn’t mean you need to buy a tiny little car that feels like its powered by an asthmatics cough, you just have to be sensible. Selecting the right car could save you between $18 - $35 a week.” If you have any more tips you would like to share, leave a comment.
