Anyone heading out on a road trip this summer is urged to be aware of the ways in which they can cut down on their fuel costs.
Despite the price of petrol falling by 24 percent since their peak last July, drivers may still be keen to make their money go further whilst they're out on the roads.
And a simple trick regarding air conditioning could help contribute towards that, as well as several other tips that have been shared by experts from Motorpoint.
Driving in warm weather means you might be tempted to crank up the aircon for the entire journey, but according to Tim Rodie from the used car company, this isn't always entirely fuel-efficient.
He said: “While opening your windows might been like an obvious alternative, it can make your car less aerodynamic at higher speeds, meaning your car needs to work harder and will use more fuel.
“As a rule, opening your windows is best when driving around at lower speeds around town and air conditioning is more efficient if you’re on the motorway. So, keep this in mind and be sure to mix it up on long car rides.”
Here are some of Nick's other tips for saving money on fuel this summer.

Plan your routes
“It seems obvious, but you can burn through a lot of fuel when stuck in traffic so it’s worth mapping

Before Meghan Markle ever walked into Prince Harry’s life, the struggling spare had wondered what his life could be like beyond palace walls. In a resurfaced interview with author Angela Levin, the Duke of Sussex spoke candidly about his desire for an "ordinary life." His thoughts were shared in Levin’s 2017 column for the U.K.’s Daily Mail as well as her 2018 book, "Harry: A Biography of a Prince." "I spent many years kicking my heels, and I didn’t want to grow up," the now-38-year-old told Levin. "I felt I wanted out but then decided to stay in and work out a role for myself." British royals expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital it’s likely Harry would have attempted to escape the pressures of being a "spare" beyond his home country whether the former American actress was in the picture or not.
