Drivers should all be using the trick say motoring experts as fuel costs rise again
Motorists are being urged to drive everywhere with a bowl of water in the passenger seat this winter.
The advice comes as fuel prices continue to drain finances for households across the country. Petrol and diesel prices have been steadily creeping up again as we head into winter 2023, and while they aren't as bad as a year or so ago, they're still among the highest they've ever been, and we've all got one eye on Christmas now.
So motoring experts at ChooseMyCar.com have urged drivers to consider a few - you might say, odd - fuel saving tips to bring into your drive this winter.The first is to keep a bowl of water in the passenger seat. The experts said: "Keeping an open bowl of water on your passenger seat is a great deterrent for unnecessary acceleration and braking.
"It sounds a bit strange, but it is a simple and brilliant reminder to drive gently. If you hit the accelerator too hard, you'll see water pour out the sides. Likewise, if you're driving too fast and braking hard you'll notice water on the seat. The best bowls to use for this are small cereal bowls, with water about an inch from the top."You might have to buy a compass - but this simple fuel saving hack will save you money.
