Despite the prices of petrol and diesel slowly dropping, many drivers still struggle with the costs. The latest RAC Fuel Watch indicates that motorists will have to pay 168.36p per litre of unleaded and 183.19p per litre of diesel on average.
Thousands of motorists across Britain started practicing fuel-saving techniques when petrol and diesel prices hit staggering highs.
While some of them are extremely popular, others might have escaped drivers’ attention.
One of the more obscure hypermiling techniques involves wearing sensible shoes when driving.
Wearing bigger shoes takes away the sensitivity needed with the throttle but this is not something all drivers may consider.

On the other hand, heavier shoes like boots could cause drivers to incorrectly judge how much throttle is needed, potentially wasting fuel.
The RAC advises drivers not to have a sole thicker than 10mm, also suggesting that it should not be too thin or soft.
The footwear should be able to provide enough grip to stop the feet from slipping off the pedals.
Larger shoes can also result in slow ankle movements, reduced reaction time, and if they are too wide, could result in two pedals being pressed down at once accidentally.
Other popular hypermiling tips include removing excess weight, ensuring tyre pressure is correct and keeping the air conditioning off.
