Fuel saving tips from motoring experts as half of all drivers reduce fuel consumption

Shop around: As you drive, keep in mind which gas stations are the cheapest, and stop there when you pass.

Tire Pressure – If your tires are under or over inflated, your fuel won’t get you as far as it should.

Check the manufacturer’s recommendations and make sure they are pumped to the correct pressure, based on your vehicle’s load.

Lighten the load: Every extra pound your car carries can decrease your fuel economy, so remove any junk and keep only important items like the jack, early warning devices, and any tools you might need in an emergency.

Fuel is also heavy: if you tend to take short trips, it might be worthwhile to run your car on a quarter full tank and fill it up often with small amounts.
