The Simple Trick that Can Help Drivers Cut Down on Fuel Use as Pump Prices Soar
The AA said smoother driving can cut fuel use, and staff in a previous eco-driving trial reduced weekly fuel bills by 10%.
- Drivers are told to imagine carrying a cup of tea to cut fuel bills, a visual trick Dace Motor Group suggests encourages Motorists to avoid slamming on brakes or rushing towards red lights.
- Stamping on pedals and braking hard burns unnecessary fuel on every journey, forcing Drivers to use more energy than necessary and increasing costs.
- A spokesman advised: "Drive smoothly, accelerate gently and read the road ahead to avoid braking unnecessarily." Decelerate smoothly by releasing the accelerator in time, leaving the Car in gear.
- In a previous eco-driving trial, staff cut their weekly fuel bills by 10 per cent by adopting smoother habits. Gentler driving also reduces wear and tear on tyres and braking systems.
- Rolling towards queues or traffic lights lowers fuel consumption because coming to a complete Stopping point and restarting uses more petrol. Slow early for traffic lights to avoid stopping completely.
