Petrol tricks British drivers are using to cut fuel costs including turning off heating

As fuel costs continue to rise, one in six drivers are keeping their car heating off in an effort to save money, according to a new survey.

A poll conducted by Opinium Research examined 2,000 British drivers to uncover the habits motorists are undertaking to reduce fuel usage. Car owners were recently warned that the price of fuel is expected to jump even further this year, potentially costing them an extra £395 annually.
