Here are five good tips to help you save money in these wallet-unfriendly times, especially when the government has added another 2p on to the amount you have to pay every time you visit the forecourts.
* When coasting up to traffic lights don’t put the car into neutral, keep it in gear
* Make sure you are in the right gear, engines work most efficiently between 1,500 and 2,500 RPM.
* Avoid high speeds on motorways, drag increases rapidly over 70mph so fuel consumption suffers significantly
* Avoid short journeys altogether if you can, walk or get on your bike
* A cold engine uses twice as much fuel as a warm one, so for the first few minutes drive very carefully
