Rising petrol costs make driving in the UK increasingly expensive, although manufacturers are taking steps to combat this with more fuel efficient engines. There are also several steps the motorist can take to improve their fuel efficiency no matter what the engine size.

1. Regular servicing keeps a car running as efficiently as possible and choosing the right garage can make a huge difference. For cars in the Volkswagen Audi Group Nirro offers specialist servicing and repair at a fraction of the price of using a main dealer.
2. Maintaining the correct tyre pressure can improve fuel efficiency by as much as 3%. Each time you fill up use the garage air hose to check and inflate your tyres to the correct pressure as specified in the owner’s manual.
3. De-clutter the car – the heavier the weight the more energy the engine uses.
4. Fuel adds weight to the vehicle so only fill up to half or three-quarters unless setting off on a long journey.
5. Always change up through the gears as fast as possible without labouring the engine to improve fuel efficiency drastically.
