With petrol and diesel prices reaching £5 a gallon in some places, many motorists are facing real difficulty in affording their journeys.

The Carbon Footprint website provides tips on reducing the carbon emissions from car travel and at the same time saving money. For example by avoiding harsh acceleration and braking you could reduce fuel consumption by up to 30%. I have tested what happens by always driving within speed limits and avoiding rapid acceleration and my on board computer shows that fuel consumption has fallen by around 15%!
