1. A good way to save money on your car is by keeping its engine properly serviced. If your car's engine isn't running efficiently, it can mean it burning up to 30% more fuel than one that is properly tuned. Follow your car manufacturer's guidelines for servicing your car.
2. Cars don't need 'warming up' any more, so only idle the engine at times when it's needed. Waiting outside a friend's house to pick them up isn't one of those times.
3. Knocking 20mph off your speed can help you save up to 15% more petrol. That's a nice saving! Also, switch to cruise control when you can. This helps you maintain a steady speed. Avoid sudden and extreme accelerations. This can burn lots of fuel needlessly.
4. Make sure that your tires are inflated to the correct pressures. Tires that are under inflated will cause you to burn more fuel. Make sure that your tires are kept in alignment. This will help you car to handle better also, as well as prolonging the life of the tire.
5. Avoid multiple trips if possible, by doing all of your errands together. Try to avoid peak travel times when traffic is high so that your car engine isn't left idleing too long.
6. A really great way of cutting fuel consumption is to car pool. Sharing your vehicle on trips to work with collegues means that many car can be left at home. You can take it in turns to drive.
