Save MONEY with The Daily Express...

JASMINE BIRTLES' tip of the day:

WE'RE all looking at ways of cutting back and saving money. Each day our financial guru, Jasmine Birtles, will show you how to make your money go even further. So buying the Daily Express could now save you hundreds of pounds every year.

SAVE PETROL BY DRIVING SMOOTHLY

Save on petrol – and help the planet – by changing the way you drive. If you stop and start a lot, brake suddenly and generally drive in a jerky way you will be using more petrol than you need to.

A car consumes the most petrol when it accelerates, according to the law of physics (force equals mass times acceleration), but when it’s moving it doesn’t need much to keep going.

So by keeping your driving technique smooth and not braking all the time you keep your speed without having to accelerate.

This is the most efficient way to save petrol giving you 10% - 20% more mileage, which means significant savings given the price of petrol now.
