TIPS FOR SAVING ON PETROL COSTS
1. Get rid of your gas guzzler
An older car or a car with a large engine isn’t going to save you money on petrol.
2. Keep an eye on fuel prices.
An online tool "Fair Fuel Prices" which allows you to search for the service station with the cheapest petrol prices near you.
3. Drive wise
Driving faster actually works your car’s engine harder. If you stick to the limit, it will only use as much as it needs to.
4. Fill up at night
Liquids expand when they get hot and shrink when they get cold. So, filling up at night or when it’s cool.
5. Plan your trips
Planning where you will fill up with petrol and the most direct route to your destination.
6. Watch your revs
It’s a good idea to put your car in neutral while sitting in traffic or at the lights because you’ll use less petrol.
7. Service your car regularly
A regular car service can pick up potential problems that might cause you to pay more for petrol than you have to.
