Filling up with fuel is now costing more than it ever has before. So we went back to driving school to learn some efficiency tips - and saved 25% in fuel costs.
To see just how much I can save using Fuelsave driving techniques, we will be doing two identical laps on my local roads. The first circuit will be without Morris’s input to set a marker, without guidance, but he’s sitting alongside to view the trip and assess what I’m doing.
I can’t deny that I’ve consciously been driving more economically of late. Miserly mileage has become something I’ve been doing habitually, and gaining a few extra MPG has been relatively easy enough to achieve. Pulling out onto my road, Morris immediately starts a commentary of what’s going on. If you’ve ever done any advanced driving, you would be familiar with it: highlighting potential hazards, traffic, signs and junctions and actively looking for ways of dealing with all of it. The goal is always to carry momentum. If you’ve ever tried pushing a car from standstill, you will understand why, because getting it moving requires the most effort.
He continues: “That roundabout up ahead: try to reach it when there’s no traffic, slow to flow, look, assess and decide. And think about the crossing afterwards: is there a person there? It’s all about the timing of your approach, and on the exit, is it safe to build speed? Is there someone behind? If not, you don’t need to accelerate briskly.”
