Clear your car of its unnecessary clutter before setting out on a journey. While the build-up of pay-and-display tickets on the dashboard will make little difference, clearing out the heavier stuff building up in your boot could make for a much more economical drive.

It’s great to be prepared for breakdowns with some essential tools in the boot for instance, but do you really need the entire toolbox?

You can also improve your car’s fuel efficiency by removing any roof racks that aren’t in use. This improves the car’s aerodynamics, again reducing your fuel usage.
