Martin Lewis found fame thanks to his savvy money-saving tips, and his advice has never been needed more than now, with the cost of living rising significantly. The 49 year old has been providing tips to help with rising energy costs over recent weeks, and now he's provided advice for those looking to decrease their fuel bill. Petrol prices have reached an all time high, but there is one way you can cut your fuel bill, and it's all down to how you drive your car.
Money-saving expert Martin has explained how 'smooth driving' can help you save fuel, as well as the environment.

He added that you should try to stay under 3,000 revs and always drive in the highest gear possible, without labouring the engine.
Also, drivers should attempt to change gears much earlier than they naturally would, as this helps you to plan ahead and move gradually. Making the most of the car's momentum can help, and you should try not to hit the brakes too quickly where possible. Martin's latest advice comes after Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak announced a plan to cut fuel duty by 5p in his spring statement earlier this month.
