How to drive to maximise MPG
Comments

When I took my test a few years ago the instructor said it was going to be introduced as a minor fail point, so just an extra tick in that could fail some people the test. Don't know if it has been introduced yet or not though.
And your point is?
Or is fuel economy part of the test now?0 -
I am sure I have heard it said that you should drive as if you have an raw in its shell egg under your pedals.
In other words that you should not slam down on any pedal unless you can really help it. Gentle smooth gear changes.
I also find that if I take a little bit longer to get anywhere and not rant I feel so much more relaxed.
I just tend to be more aware of the traffic flow and traffic lights now and I am always looking head at lights and roundabout for traffic.
Only time it does not work at roundabouts is when I can see it is clear and the person in front can see a car about two miles away and they stop:mad: Bump up the rear gets them moving again
