In the UK the price of petrol and diesel is just continuously rising it is one of the biggest pains in my arse and it is no doubt a big pain for you guys as well. So without robbing a petrol tanker how else can we save money on our fuel bills?

Here is my first tip when you need petrol always try and buy it when it's the coldest so in the UK its best really to go early morning or late at night this is because petrol is a lot denser the colder it gets and well this means that you will be getting more petrol for your money which will then give you more miles on your tank.

If you live near a good cheap petrol station then only fill up your tank half way as there is no real need to be carrying any more as the extra just ads weight to the car and because you live near the station you wuoldn't be doing any more miles to re fill the car up again.

So this next tip is an obvious one however it can be a big saver. Go onto the internet and do a search round for the cheapest fuel this way will you not only probably save a few pence a litre but you will be saving fuel by not driving around to the different garages in the area.

A car that is well maintained will give better fuel economy this is a fact that most people over look. By simply getting your car tuned you will increase the fuel economy by as much as 20%. The tyre pressures of your car are very important you should try and keep them at a safe yet economical pressure this will reduce drag and you will again increase fuel economy. Simple car maintenance goes a long way to save you money just changing the oil and the air filter regularly and you will get better economy.

Try to keep to speed limits not only so you can keep your driving license but the faster you go the more fuel you use but when you get the chance try and use the highest gear possible this reduces engine braking and reduces engine wear as well. I always try and combine my list of jobs to do and do them all at once as the more you start and stop the engine the more fuel you use and also car doesn't get to its full economical potential until it gets up to temperature.

The other thing you can do is have a good sort out of your car there is no need to carry half the rubbish you keep in the car by doing this on a regular basis you are saving weight. The other thing I do is I get rid of my spare wheel this may sound crazy however there is a product on the market that is called tyre weld and I just have a can of that in the glove box. A spare tyre can weigh more than a child so this weight saving is great.

By taking time to do just these few things you will be surprised at how much petrol or diesel you can save in a year. The government are taking a huge cut of the fuel prices and well to be honest its becoming ridiculous which is why you should do what ever it takes to save every drop of fuel and try and make it go a hell of a lot further!
