Cars aren’t always thought of as being the most efficient or cost-effective form of transport. After all, they use up fuel, need MOTs and require hefty insurance premiums in order to make them roadworthy. There are some things you can do to make your car affordable, though. First of all, think about changing the way you drive. If you are known for loving a bit of speed, think again. Don’t over rev and don’t put your foot down when you don’t need to. Save the fast driving for the motorway, where you will get more miles to a tank.

You should also look at saving money in other ways, like by reducing your insurance costs. Look at a price comparison site to find the cheapest options and contact companies that aren’t on them to get a quote. This will make a big difference in the price of running your car.
