WITH Jeremy Hunt today announcing the extension of the fuel duty relief, Richard Evans, head of technical services at WeBuyAnyCar comments:- “With drivers set to continue to benefit from frozen fuel duty rates for another 12 months, the government relief will be a welcome boost for many motorists. Our research showed that rising motoring costs are unsurprisingly taking a toll, with 4 in 10 drivers (40%) trying to drive less as a result of expensive fuel. Drivers wanting to make the most out of their fuel can take small steps to save on consumption. Keeping their car in a good working condition will ensure fuel isn’t wasted on broken parts, and driving smoothly by accelerating gently and using the correct gear will save as much fuel as possible. These factors can have a big impact on fuel consumption which could end up saving drivers when getting around. Amidst the fluctuation of fuel prices, it’s important that drivers are aware of the cost to fill up and where they can get the best deal in their local area. Using our fuel cost calculator, drivers can estimate their weekly, monthly (and even annual) fuel spend.”
