Earlier this week, gasoline prices rose by over £ 2 per liter at more expensive filling stations in the UK.

The average cost of a full tank of petrol for a 55-liter car exceeded £ 100 for the first time, according to the data.

Its wholesale oil price rose about 6% last week and is showing no signs of slowing.

Now that the British are trying to save money on petrol and diesel, many motorists will use techniques to use less petrol.

Generally speaking, one of the best things to do is hypermilling, which is when drivers try to get the best mileage out of their cars.

However, automotive experts have now warned that some of the more common fuel-saving techniques can be dangerous.

Neil Greig, director of policy and research at IAM RoadSmartsaid Expressed“The roads in the UK are still very busy and when driving you have to focus on your safety and that of others first.

“Some hyper-polishing techniques require high levels of concentration which may prevent you from driving safely.

“Going too slow can also irritate other drivers who don’t know what they are doing and this can lead to road rage.”

The expert also warned motorists that they should “never” use the freewheel in a modern car as it could disable their safety system.

If drivers want to glide along the coast, Neil said the best way is to do it in the right place at the right time.

He continues: “The best eco-driving techniques are the simplest: keeping your car in good condition, respecting the speed limit, anticipating and anticipating slowdowns at traffic lights or intersections.

“Remember that hard acceleration and braking are the enemies of low fuel consumption. Remove any unnecessary weight from the car and remove any hoods or roof bars.

”At low speed, open the windows to ventilate. At higher speeds, use the air conditioning only when you have too much.

“Also remember to look for the cheapest fuel and if you can walk or cycle for those shorter trips.”
