With the drop in temperatures and the rise in living costs, drivers across the United Kingdom will do everything they can to save on petrol and, consequently, money. While there are several tips for fuel saving that drivers can follow, smooth driving and reducing speed seem to make the biggest difference.
So far, petrol prices remain relatively high, with drivers expected to pay an average of 162.32 pence per liter for unleaded petrol and 180.45 pence per liter for diesel. Keeping this in mind, experts at "CarFinance247" have provided some important tips for drivers to follow in the upcoming months.
One of these tips suggests that drivers imagine there is an egg between the floor and the accelerator pedal to avoid pressing down too hard. Experts stated, "If you didn’t know that aggressive speed or erratic driving means the engine will use more fuel, you do now." They added, "The car's tires are a key component when it comes to fuel saving. Flat tires create drag on the road. Drivers should check tire pressure every time they fill up their car."
Moreover, they noted, "Drivers need to remember that a car filled with people and luggage will require higher tire pressure than a car carrying just one or two people."
