Not using your indicators, or refusing to switch on headlights at night is another great way to save fuel.

Remove all the bulbs to be sure.....

Don't forget disconnecting the tail light. Ghosts might follow you home.

Yes. An NGV fill-up is a place to meet your taxi driver mates for a sandwich and a natter while you wait.

With the global rise in fuel costs, all of us are thinking twice before taking the car for a long journey.

Long journeys can be quite economical, I think it would be wise to consider more walking the very short journeys, 100m to 7/11 etc.

I believe about 55 mph is best, so that is the speed I drive everywhere and don't bother stopping at lights or junctions now.

Stop driving like an idiot would be a good start.

Is that a 4.54 litre gallon, or a 3.78 liter gallon ?

For a number of years after buying my 3.0 litre Hilux Vigo I kept a check on fuel consumption and it averaged out over a five or so year period of 34.97 mpg and these were real 4.54 litre gallons not the budget US variety.
