It comes as research finds two in five drivers in the UK are making fewer journeys by car in order to save money on fuel.

“Although it might not seem a lot in the grand scheme of things, if you tally this up every time you fill up your tank, the savings do add up. Although, this is still extremely high and unaffordable for some, so it’s clear there’s still a need to cut fuel costs.
