Drivers warned against one button which increases fuel consumption by 20 per cent

Temperatures along with fuel prices are set to rise which means many drivers will want to stay cool and also save money wherever possible. However, drivers have been warned of losing up to 20 percent of fuel consumption whilst battling the heat.

On average, drivers are facing petrol prices at 178.93p per litre with diesel owners facing a higher 189.30p every time they fill up. The RAC predict prices will start to fall but many drivers want to save money in the meantime.

The Express reports drivers often overlook the effects of cooling down in their cars in the summer. In warm conditions, motorists will usually opt for having the windows open or use air conditioning.
