In my quest to save pennies and find a way to make ends meet, i decided to take it a bit more easy commuting to work.
In my amazement by short shifting, not useing full throttle and not pinning the throttle wide open coming out of bends, in the last 2 weeks i have managed to save over half a tank a fuel a week. This with the occasional race with a cage.
Thats over £5 a week min.
So i calculated say
£5 a week = £20 a month = £240 a year.
Yeah £240
That is a pair of tyres and a service or my kids xmas pressies paid for or even holiday spending money.
Sorry i know it doesn't take alot to amaze me but it ain't taking me any longer gettin to work and if i get bored i just try and carry more corner speed which in turn uses less fuel coming out the corner not needing as much throttle.
Just thought i would share this with you. £240 min a year

So I've started doing that now, fed up of using 1 and 1/2 tanks of fuel per week for only doing 300 miles + weekend driving per week.
