Online marketing Business 24 August 2010 – British motorists can save money by following some great tips from Carrentals.co.uk that are designed to counteract the high Bank Holiday weekend fuel prices.
Carrentals.co.uk spoke out through their Managing Director, Gareth Robinson: “With petrol prices rising sharply yet again, the UK public need to understand that making some small changes will go a long way to saving money on fuel costs.”
Here
are the car hire company’s top hints on how to save money on fuel –
1)
Take it Steady – Cutting your speed down will see massive fuel savings.
2) Pressure Point – Tyre pressure should be
set to that in the manufacturer’s manual.
3)
Plan Your Route – Set out your route so you can’t get lost.
4)
Remove Excess
Weight – Ditch everything that you don’t need
from the vehicle.
5) Tight-Wad’s Fifth Gear – Thanks to
modern technology, the age-old fuel saving trick of dropping into neutral no
longer works.
6)
Make Your Own Fuel – If
you can’t afford to buy make some biofuel at home!
7) Cut Down on Resistance – Drag is created by open windows and things
such as roof racks.
8)
Supermarket Money Off Vouchers – Most supermarkets offer vouchers for fuel and they should be used
not thrown away!
9) Lift Share – Share the school run, shopping trips and getting to and from work.
10) Keep Fuel Topped Up – Fill up at a cheap
station rather than in bits and pieces as prices change continuously.
