A car expert has revealed how motorists can reduce their fuel consumption by up to 25% as petrol and diesel prices hit record highs. As the cost of living crisis continues and the devastating invasion of Ukraine rages on, fuel prices have skyrocketed leaving many struggling to justify getting behind the wheel.
The cost of filling an average family car with diesel is now around £90 and to top up a tank in a similar sized car with petrol will set you back an eye watering £87. Following the UK’s oil embargo on Russia, some motorists in London were even reporting petrol prices of more than £2 per litre.

Speaking to hosts Ben Shephard and Ranvir Singh, Quentin said that we all need to “change our mindset” as motorists and drive more “sensitively.”
