Fuel saving tip
This is probably something that many people know and practise on the roads, but thought I'd try and explain my findings.

Aftermarket warranties
What do other MSEs think about aftermarket warranties, such as https://www.warrantydirect.co.uk? (How about an article, Martin?) I am normally sceptical about buying warranties for things like appliances, as they cost more than most likely repairs. If you bought a really duff appliance which needed several repairs in a…
Save on gas idea. Can it be done?
Hello! I go across the border to shop and save a lot of money. I find the gas price in Washington is really low compared to the high prices in BC. The only problem is I can only fill the tank of my car. The gas runs out in a week or two. I can only go to U.S. once every month. So I'm thinking of buying a plastic gas tank,…
AA members alert - cut your costs by at least 10%
If you're an existing AA member, you might want to know the AA recently cut its online prices for new joiners. But in a less-than-impressive "reverse loyalty bonus" move, it's not automatically passing those cuts on to existing members. You have to ask to get the benefit! A friendly helpline operative told me AA staff had…

hi all, one question, im aware that coasting is dangerous and you dont have much control of your car and of braking when you're coasting, however, many people say (including jeremy clarkson) that if you coast , you should do it in neutral because your car isnt needing any fuel to keep it turning. But, a mechanic told me…
