Know Your Fuel Prices
Don't be tempted to just fill up at the nearest petrol station- get to know where is offering the cheapest prices on fuel. A cursory glance at the signage as you drive past could save you money - but do not be fooled into travelling too far for cheaper fuel - the extra distance covered will more than outweigh any financial benefit.

Be Loyal!
As well as often being the cheapest option for filling up, many supermarket petrol stations offer loyalty cards which mean that the more you fill up, the more you get back. For example, if you fill up at Tesco regularly, they reward you with a healthy discount in your weekly shopping.

Consider Your Speed
Keeping an eye on your speed can help you save money in more than one way. Not only will careful driving help you avoid speeding tickets and fines, but driving a little slower than you normally would can also cut costs - travelling at 70mph uses 25% more fuel than driving at 50.

Shop Around For Insurance
This is something that most people know to do, but many people still don't - try not to be tempted to simply accept your renewal quote without looking to see what else is being offered. Whenever you're looking at new car insurance, it is always worthwhile to get a car insurance comparison to make sure you're not paying over the odds. You can save hundreds by comparing car insurance at moneysupermarket.com, which will only take you a few minutes.

Give Someone A Lift!
Obviously, the easiest way to spend less on your car is to use it less, but so many of us rely on our vehicles for getting to work - Thousands of us make journeys that could have easily been shared with another. However, it may be worth asking around in your office to see if anybody lives near to you and would like to car share, this can quite literally cut the cost of your commute in half!
