Most of us have to watch our outgoings nowadays and one fairly major expense is running our cars. The price of petrol seems to be forever going up and so there are a few rules we can follow to help save on fuel.
One thing many of us are guilty of at times is putting our foot down when we accelerate. If you drive an automatic it is best to accelerate at a moderate speed in order to give the transmission time to shift to the higher gears. Also if you accelerate and brake right away this is a big waste of petrol.
