The shortest route isn’t always the most efficient.
Traffic lights, congestion and stop-start driving all increase fuel
use.
A smoother route with fewer stops can save petrol, even if it’s
slightly longer.
Navigation apps can help you choose smarter routes based on
traffic flow.
If your car isn’t performing efficiently, it may need attention.

❄🚙 Tyres matter more in winter
Wet, cold roads reduce grip and worn tyres increase stopping
distance dramatically.
✔ Check tread depth regularly
✔ Keep tyres properly inflated
✔ Replace uneven or worn tyres early
Stay safe this winter and support local experts who can help you

costly repairs or roadside fines.
✔ Lights
✔ Tyres
✔ Brakes
✔ Steering & suspension

The biggest fuel savings don’t always come from driving
differently, but driving less.
Shared transport reduces:
✔ Fuel consumption
✔ Congestion
✔ Travel time
A single vehicle carrying more people is far more efficient than
multiple cars.
Sometimes the smartest move is sharing the journey.
And when you do drive,make sure your vehicle is running at its
best.

⛽🚗 Using the correct fuel matters more than many people
realise
Putting the wrong fuel in your vehicle isn’t just inconvenient, it can
lead to poor performance, expensive repairs, and in some cases
serious engine damage.
✔ Petrol vs diesel matters
✔ Some vehicles require premium fuel
✔ Modern engines are more sensitive than older vehicles
✔ Misfuelling can affect injectors, fuel pumps, and emissions
systems
If you’re unsure what your vehicle should use, check your owner’s
manual or ask your trusted workshop before filling up.
A few seconds at the pump can save a very expensive mistake
later.

Your WoF might not be due yet... but your car is still doing the
hard work every day.
From November 2026, WoF inspections will be less frequent for
many vehicles, but tyres, brakes, steering and suspension still
wear at the same rate.
A WoF is only a snapshot on the day. Regular servicing and

safety checks help keep your vehicle reliable, safe, and road-
ready between inspections.

✔ Stay ahead of costly repairs
✔ Help prevent breakdowns
✔ Keep your vehicle safer for longer
