So how do you save money and drive?

Petrol and diesel prices aren't on the slide, so anything we can do to squeeze a few more meters out of each litre is more than welcome.

There are obvious maintenance repairs we can do to maximize our mpg. Keeping your car tuned up, changing your air filter, and keeping your tyres properly inflated all add up to savings at the pump with better mpg.

But did you know that another huge fuel saver won't cost you anything at all?

That's right, it's free, and you can start right now.

This important change involves your everyday driving habits. Believe it or not, the way you act behind the wheel can really affect your gas mileage.  Driving really is 90% mind power and 10% physical!

Saving fuel while you drive involves a generally less aggressive demeanor behind the wheel. These easy tips can really make a difference:

• Accelerate more gradually. The harder you press the gas pedal the more juice you're pouring down the hole. 
• Anticipate stops. By looking well ahead, early vision - early decision, you can see a light changing red and take your foot off the gas pedal earlier. By slowing down instead of driving under power, you're burning less fuel.
• Drive more slowly on the dual carriageway. We all want to get there fast, but reduce your speed by 5 or 10 miles per hour will save a lot of fuel, and probably won't add much time to your trip.
• Change gear earlier. Try changing gear at a lower RPM. The higher your engine revs the more fuel it burns.

You could also try some untested methods like installing a team of gerbils in each tire or cutting holes in the floor of your car for Flintstones' power, but there are no guarantees.

Change your style of driving according to the list above, and you can be guaranteed you'll save money at the pump.
