Driving economically - Check your speed limit

When you take the steering wheel, the first thing that you should remind yourself is that “you are not a racer or a fighter pilot”. So, there is no point in storming along at 80mph. It’s not only dangerous but also uses up to 25 percent more fuel compared to driving at 70mph. Likewise, driving at 70mph will use 9 percent more fuel compared to cruising at 60mph.
