🚗💸 Looking to save on petrol and diesel? With prices on the rise due to the ongoing US-Iran conflict, here’s how Martin Lewis suggests you can ease the pinch on your wallet:
1. **Find Cheaper Pumps**: Petrol prices can vary widely even in the same area. Use sites like PetrolPrices.com to sniff out cheaper options around you. A new Fuel Finder service also promises more transparency.
2. **Earn While You Fill Up**: Cashback cards can help you recoup some of that fuel cost. Martin recommends cards like the Lloyds Ultra credit card, offering 1% cashback. Remember, pay off in full to avoid interest charges!
3. **Drive Smoothly**: Speeding and rapid acceleration burn more fuel! Ease off the pedal, avoid hard braking, and shift gears early to save.
4. **Lighten Your Load**: Remove unnecessary weight from your car. Say goodbye to roof racks and clutter in the boot. Keeping tyres at the correct pressure also improves efficiency.
5. **Costco for the Win**: If you’re near a Costco, their forecourts often offer some of the cheapest fuel around. Check if you qualify for membership, which is £42/year.
