At the moment, many of us are trying to watch what we spend and try to be more mindful of money - meaning small savings here and there are welcome.
And for those of us who drive petrol or diesel cars, we could be saving money by ditching one common car product that a mechanic has described as a "waste of money".
YouTuber Scotty Kilmer, who has been a mechanic for over 50 years, said that most modern cars won't benefit from the product and that it should only be used on older models.
The Express reports that he recently made a video about fuel additives and why they often aren't necessary to put in your car. He made clear that additives should only be used on older cars, and modern cars likely won't benefit.
Instead of this, he says that car owners should change their oil frequently and make sure their fuel tanks are topped up. Speaking on his channel, Scotty said: "Is it worth posting a fuel injector additive to a car? It’s a new car. No, you're throwing your money down the toilet.
“It’s to clean stuff. It isn't dirty, it's a brand-new engine. Don’t throw your money away. Gasoline already comes with all kinds of cleaners now, now there’s good cleaners out there but you put it in a clunker that’s worn out and is clogged up.
“But if you buy a new car and you buy correct gasoline and change the oil regularly you never really need to put an additive in it. Unless it's a piece of c*** and it's going to build up all this carbon because it's built wrong. Then yeah you can put some cleaner and try and help it, If that doesn't work you have to take the engine apart and take a sandblaster.”
Additives are said to help your vehicle's performance and clean parts of its engine.

it was announced that The Leadmill was facing a threat of closure due to its landlord issuing a notice of eviction. The news sparked an outcry from music industry figures and gig-goers alike.The building’s owners, Electric Group, who bought the site’s freehold in 2017, previously told music fans that they had no intention of closing the venue at the end of the current occupiers’ lease in 2023.“The management may change but the song stays the same,” Madden, CEO and co-founder of Electric Group, wrote on Twitter at the time.However, management at The Leadmill claimed they were being “exterminated by the landlord” before launching a fresh appeal online.On Monday (September 18) councillors considered an application for a shadow premises licence – a second licence landlords can obtain for a premises that already operates under one – during the hearing.Per the application, the two licenses “will not operate at the same time” but would allow the landlord “to have his own licence to protect his position should the tenant do anything to put the premises licence in jeopardy”.We've been a part of the Sheffield community for 43 years and we are not ready to say goodbye.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic More often than not, Hayao Miyazaki’s heroes have been young women — from Ponyo to Princess Mononoke, mischief-seeking Kiki to the two sisters spirited away by furry forest guardians in “My Neighbor Totoro.” That’s the most obvious departure the anime maestro’s fans will notice in “The Boy and the Heron”: It’s about a boy, Mahito Maki (voiced by Soma Santoki), grieving the loss of his mother during wartime. He’s surrounded by women, but this quest falls on the shoulders of a character who’s reportedly closer to Miyazaki than any of his previous protagonists.
