Reducing motoring costs including
how to get cheap car insurance

Nearly all young drivers are looking to save money on their motoring costs. One way to do so is by using less fuel.

Here are some quick and easy steps you can take that will reduce your fuel bill:

  • Drive fewer miles. Sounds obvious, doesn’t it? But if you are only nipping down to the local shop, why not take the bike or walk? It is free, good for you, and good for the environment.
  • Take the roof rack off your car and remove possessions from inside it that don’t need to be there. A lighter car with less wind resistance has to use less fuel to get around.
  • Check your tyre pressure is correct. If your tyres are over-inflated, you will be using more fuel than necessary.
  • Drive sensibly. Whilst you may think this is boring, this is the one aspect of motoring that can save you the most money. Using a high a gear as is safe and refraining from sudden braking and harsh acceleration can knock up to a third off your fuel bill.
  • Turn the engine off when waiting at a level crossing. Often it takes a few minutes for the barriers to come back up so you may as well turn your engine off and save yourself a few quid.
