Check your tyre pressure
If your tyres are under-inflated the car will require more engine power, keep your tyres at the correct pressure as per your handbook and you'll save those pennies. If you don't have a pump at home you can check your tyre pressure at your local petrol or service station.
Warm the car up on-the-move
Let your engine warm up whilst on the move there's no need to wait around with the engine running as this only increases unnecessary fuel consumption.
Don't rev the engine
Driving smoothly will help to conserve fuel, so leave the boy racer at home and watch your rev counter.
Stick to the limit
Speeding up and slowing down quickly burns fuel more quickly so stick to the speed limit and there'll be no need to slam your brakes on for the speed cameras.
Plan your journey carefully
Some satellite navigation systems can show you the most economical routes and cheapest petrol. Wherever possible only drive when you know the roads will be emptier. If the traffic is starting and stopping all the time your car will drink more fuel.
Keep the car serviced
Even something as simple as dirty oil or blocked spark plugs can lead to increased fuel consumption so make sure your car is regularly serviced and you will be more fuel efficient.
Close the Sunroof
An open window or sunroof damages the aerodynamics of the car so that the engine has to work harder to power it. Simply close the windows and you'll waste less fuel. Air con can also cause a drag on the engine so make sure you use it with caution.
Make only necessary journeys
This tip speaks for itself but wherever possible and so long as it is safe to do so, leave the car at home and use other forms of transport such as a bicycle or walking.
