News today reveals that fuel prices could rise by around £3 to fill up with a tank of petrol or diesel. Car insurance expert Alex Kindred at Confused.com says:
“The rising costs of living and the plunge in value of the pound are effecting all areas of life, but motoring costs have been at the forefront for quite some time. Our latest research shows that more than 2 in 5 (46%) drivers think that the recent rise in fuel costs are unjustified. “With this in mind, drivers may be put off from using their vehicles for their general day-to-day. However, there are still some ways to save money when it comes to fuel consumption.
“To help with your overall fuel economy, you could try:
• Removing excess weight from your vehicle
• Ensure tyres are inflated to the correct pressure
• Avoid engine idling
“All you need to do is pop a postcode in and search for fuel stations closest to you. Journey planning will help you to find the most affordable prices in your area, meaning you don’t need to pay over the odds during an already difficult time.”
