Martin Lewis said drivers were “burning fuel” every time they pressed on the accelerator and used their brake pedals. He warned changing their driving style can have a “massive impact” on drivers petrol and diesel costs especially as prices continue to rise.
“Road positioning, so that you speed up more slowly, not your maximum speed, and you can slow down more gradually, of course, you brake when you need to brake for safety.
“All of that can make a massive impact on the amount of petrol you can use when driving along.
“But there is no magic wand on that I’m afraid.”
His warning comes just weeks after petrol and diesel prices hit a new all-time high in the UK.
A new poll by the AA shows 28 percent of 18 to 34-year-olds were cutting back on their consumer spending to compensate for fuel costs.
Luke Bosdet said: “There was a big drop in wholesale petrol and diesel costs last week and, so far, the fuel trade has shown little sign of passing on the savings.
“Current petrol price highs come off wholesale costs exceeding 54p a litre in the second week of November. A fortnight on, they are down to 49p.
“Consumers and businesses cannot afford for retailers to hold back potential price cuts of £2 to £3 a tank.
“Hanging on to see if costs will recover and therefore supposedly justify keeping prices high cannot be an option for an essential item of the weekly spend.”
