Reports today have today shared how fuel costs remain high for drivers. Richard Evans, head of technical services at webuyanycar comments:
“Rising motoring costs are unsurprisingly taking a toll, as our research revealed 4 in 10 drivers (40%) trying to drive less as a result of expensive fuel.
“As households unfortunately feel the pinch from rising costs across the board, there are a few things drivers can do to get the most out of their fuel. The more weight a car is carrying, the more fuel it will consume, so remove anything that isn’t needed. Driving habits have a huge impact on fuel consumption; making sure to accelerate gently and use the highest appropriate gear will help to use as little fuel as possible. And, keeping a car in good condition can also help to improve fuel consumption, as fuel won’t be wasted on broken parts.
“Amidst the fluctuation of fuel prices, it’s also important that drivers are aware of the cost to fill up and where they can get the best deal in their local area. Drivers can use our fuel cost calculator to estimate their weekly, monthly (and even annual) fuel spend.”
