Top Tips On Cutting The Cost Of PetroL Without Going Hybrid

If you are reading this article, it is safe to assume you don’t own a hybrid car yet, or simply you have no intention of buying one in the very near future. I will however make the assumption that you seriously want to cut down the cost of running your car.

How To Cut Your Petrol Costs

1) "Cut The Speed": The old adage of 'Step on the Gas' has been empirically tested and found that this consumes fuel. The faster your drive the more fuel you burn and the more fuel you burn the larger the dent to your wallet.
Studies show you can cut up to 25% of your fuel consumption by simply reducing your speed from 70m/h to 50/m/h on long journeys.

2) Fill Up At The Cheapest Station: Thanks to www.petrolprices.com you can now find the cheapest fuel station in your local area, all you need is your postcode and they will do the rest.

3)What`s That Junk In Your Trunk?: Remove any unnecessary baggage in your car, as the heavier your car is the more fuel it consumes.

4) Check Your Tyres: Regularly check your tyres ensuring the correct air pressure is always maintained. Deflated tyres will cause more resistance thus uses up more fuel.

5) Share The Cost: Join a car sharing scheme or organise one if there isn’t one being offered in your area. These schemes have become popular over the last couple of years fuelled by the rise in fuel cost.
