1. Buy a car which is new enough to be reliable, but old enough to have lost the steepest part of the depreciation curve. 2. Buy decent tyres. They give better fuel economy and last longer. 3. Learn how to drive economically. That doesn’t mean slowly, it means leave space to cars in front and try to avoid braking if unnecessary. 4. Use a bike for short journeys.

Needed a new car anyway, went electric, charge from my roof and at work whenever possible. And even if I use the grid, the cost per distance is 1/3rd or 1/4th depending on season.

Work from home more, drive to my office which is 25 miles away less. Make sure to use Tesco Momentum rather than any other premium fuel. No cuts in terms of car maintenence.

Check tyre pressure, don't carry unnecessary weight in the boot ,roof rack off & mostly look at the road ahead

I would buy an electric car in a heartbeat if I could charge the thing at home but can’t because I live in London. Where houses cost 1million pounds for anything with a drive way. And public chargers cost as much as petrol

Went electric. After 4 years I sold my first EV for 2k less then I bought it for, in that time I saved about 6k over keeping the diesel I had so saved about 4k.
