I drive a diesel car, and I'm quite shocked that since having the car, there has been a £15 increase on having a full tank. Whereas I used to be able to top up my tank from red and only pay around £40, to do the same nowadays costs me £55. It's shocking, and the situation is only going to get worse.

Well, I can't really do much to stop the government raising the tax on fuel, but I can change how I drive. Yes, I have become one of these slow drivers that people get ever so annoyed at, but, I am definitely noticing my diesel goes further.

The first steps to driving more economical is to rid the car of clutter - anything that you don't need, get it out. It will only weigh you down. Second, make sure there's enough air in your tyres. Yes, you have to pay 20p to inflate them, but that 20p could be a potential saving! Thirdly, only fill up half a tank at a time. I don't personally do that as it's not convienient, but apparently, it's good to do so.

Then comes the driving. Basically, my motto is to look at the traffic, know when the car infront is slowing down, and slow down using the gears, not the breaks!

Well, I wish you luck in your quest to driving more economically. Goodluck.
