In the 12 months leading up to June 2012, the overall cost of motoring has risen by 18.5 percent. As a result, many have struggled to keep up with the rising cost of petrol and diesel prices, especially amidst the ongoing cost of living crisis.
Expert hypermiler, Kevin Booker, advised drivers to take a few things into account when driving to get the most out of their fuel.
Mr Booker holds the Guinness World record for lowest energy consumption driving.
In 2021 he drove from John o’ Groats to Land’s End with just one stop to recharge.
By reading the road ahead, drivers can ensure they never come to a harsh stop, one of the main things that will impact fuel consumption.

Kevin also advised drivers to check their tyre pressure regularly, as an underinflated tyre will increase fuel consumption.
If people don’t feel confident doing this themselves, they can take it to their local garage to ensure it is done properly and to a safe and legal standard.
In a bid to help drivers with motoring costs and the efficiency of their vehicle, Halfords has launched the “Fuel Efficiency Pack”.
Halfords technicians use a non-invasive procedure to clean and remove harmful carbon deposits out of the car’s engine and fuel system.
Customers can select the £30 pack when booking relevant services at Halfords’ Autocentres, including a full service and MOT, as well as oil and filter changes.
Mr Brooker also tested the Halfords Pack in August and said he noted a “marked improvement” in fuel efficiency and overall smoothness.
He said it helped to economise on fuel consumption during future journeys and ease concerns with the price at the pumps.
Kevin added: “Having driven for quite a few hundred miles post-treatment, I can confirm it really does make a difference.
“I managed to get an extra 7.9mpg on the same 218-mile journey, seeing both an improvement in the smoothness of the drive, as well a clear improvement in the distance I was able to travel – and it is better for the environment by reducing emissions.
“I’m really proud to be working with Halfords to help teach their customers how to drive more efficiently.
“Plus, paired with a change in driving behaviours, motorists can get their fuel to go the extra mile during these difficult times.”
With over 30,000 customers visiting Halfords each month for a service, this new pack promises to help customers’ fuel go further, and is suitable for both petrol and diesel vehicles.
