Reduce The Cost Of Fuel At The Pump - Buy A More Efficient Car
Speak to any car owner in the UK about the cost of fuel and you're likely to
be met with a tirade of moans, groans and grumbles about how petrol was so much cheaper ten years ago (which is a fact - the AA fuel report for January 2000 shows that the average cost of unleaded petrol at the pump was 77.6 pence per litre).Whilst most car owners are likely to continue doing nothing but moan about the price of fuel, in hope that their complaints will make the price fall, there is actually a lot that can be done to ensure that you don't have to have a fortune to be able to fuel your car.
Although one of these options is to change your driving style (for instance, most people brake too harshly and accelerate too quickly, both of which have a detrimental effect on the MPG that the car produces, which in turn means that the car needs to be filled up more often), it can be difficult if you're set in your ways as a driver or you are already driving as efficiently as you possibly can.
Therefore, one of the easiest ways to reduce the amount of money that you spend filling up your car is to buy a car that is a lot more fuel efficient than the one that you are currently using.
For example, head to any of the many Smart dealers in the UK, purchase one of their ForTwo models and you'll instantly see the amount of money that you spend on fuel decrease. Able to achieve a figure of 60 MPG for the petrol version, pay extra for the diesel engine and you can drive out of Smart dealers with a ForTwo that will return 83 miles for every gallon of petrol that you put into it.
Now, whilst ForTwos may be the most economic single fuel cars on the market, they aren't particularly spacious (they only have two seats and limited boot space) and therefore they are only suited to a small portion of car owners.
If you're looking to reduce your fuel costs but need the space that a standard sized car offers, then it's highly recommended that you take a look at a hybrid car.
In essence, a hybrid car is a car that runs on two types of fuel, with petrol or diesel and electric being the most popular combination at the moment. Allowing for you to switch between whichever fuel choice you wish, you can achieve 40 MPG out of most petrol / diesel and electric hybrids at the moment (with all of the major manufacturers either having produced a hybrid car or currently being in the process of doing so), although this is expected to increase in the coming years as technology advances.
Reducing your fuel costs is a task that is a lot easier than most would think. With a well-thought out purchase of a new fuel efficient car, mixed with a change in driving habits to ensure that you are the most sensible and efficient driver that you can be, you could be looking to save yourself a small fortune on the amount of money that you pay out for fuel on a regular basis.
