As explained on the Orange cars blog, you can save on driving just by squeezing a few more miles out of your petrol tank.
Here are our Top 5 tips to help you slow down your spending:
1. Avoid excessive acceleration and violent braking.
2. Be in the appropriate gear for your speed.
3. Make sure tyres pressures are correct.
4. Reduce the weight of your vehicle by removing unnecessary clutter from the boot.
5. Improve aerodynamic performance – remove your car’s roof rack if it’s not being used. Roll up the windows when driving at speed.
Get good cover
Save on insurance
As Martin Lewis, founder of Moneysavingexpert.com says, “It’s easy to sever car insurance costs, possibly to under £100, in around 10 minutes.”
While the AA has reported that premiums for car insurance are slowly rising, loyalty doesn’t pay so you’re likely to find a cheaper deal by switching insurer.
This might be why 5.9 million drivers switch insurer every six months, according to MoneyExpert.com, and many more switch car insurance provider every year.
