Energy Bills going up..... a way to pay for your energy bill.

Bills are going up, and the squeeze is on, so how can you save money to pay for these increases?

Well here goes.

I used to drive a Mondeo 1.7, and recently i changed to a VW up 1.0.

On the Mondeo i was spending around £75 to fill the tank and getting roughly 440miles.

In the 1.0 VW up, im spending £45 and getting the same mileage.

Thats a whopping £30 saving a tank, on top of cheaper insurance, cheaper finance, and cheaper road tax.

Now for someone who fills up on average twice a month thats £720 saving over the year, add in the savings on the above, and you can almost cover the gas/elec bill.

Both cars do 70 mph, admittedly the 1.0 might take a few seconds longer to get to desired speed.

Uh, have a coffee at home instead of at a cafe - save £1095 per year that you can spend on heating. What a strange and irrelevant post.

Buy Aldi baked beans instead of Heinz - save more than 60% but still produce the same amount of gas.

Learn How To Drive and save even more on fuel .
Buy cheap fuel rather than pay whatever price when you need to fill up . Big difference 139.9 litre and cheapest 133.7 litre . Learn your cheap stations and top up at them once you are around half a tank left .

Absolutely.... that will be a small savings. We are a society were we want everything bigger... bigger engines, cost more to run.

This is a solution that can have massive savings.

If your girlfriend insists on too high a room temperature and long showers why not dump her and exchange her for a boyfriend - he is less likely to be cold-blooded.

Erm, I can't afford a car and the daily bus ticket price has gone up 13%.

I used to heat my home now I just wear a jumper instead, saves a fortune on the gas bill.

How much did it cost to change the car? What about deprecation? This sounds like a false economy.

Again.... your right Jim.... for people that dont change their cars often, it could be a flase economy. For people who change their car every 3 years using finance agreements, then this can be a right money saver.

MSE is all about helping people trying to save money.
Most of the responses here, will only save a small amount, and most of the posters are unhelpful, and merely trolls.

I also love these people with 1000's of posts, but in reality how many were helpful, compared to the amount that were just p!!s take comments.
