Fuel prices still increasing

With unleaded pushing 140 per litre and diesel 5-9p ahead of that motorists are starting to reconsider car use.

1 - Keep your engine maintained. An efficient healthy engine can be up to 50% more efficient.

2 - Check your tyres. Just 1pdi under the optimum pressure can loose 3% in efficiency.

3 - Avoid heavy acceleration and braking, this just wastes fuel.

4 - Use block gear changing to optimize fuel use on your journey.

Female driver insurance takes a hike!

The European courts have ruled that it is illegal to charge women less for car insurance. Women under 26 are now facing a 25% hike in insurance premiums.
Will insurance companies now reduce policies across the board in view of their increase in profits? I strongly doubt it! I'm sure the naive individual who started this claim expected them to match the lower rates, where as those of us who are familiar with the world of insurance would expect nothing more than an overall hike.
